    The document proposes using the MDA framework to analyze video game design. The MDA framework breaks down games into three areas: Mechanics, which refers to the underlying rules and systems of the game; Dynamics, which describes how players interact with the mechanics and emerge gameplay; and Aesthetics, which involves the sensory and emotional experiences evoked by the game. Understanding a game through this framework of Mechanics, Dynamics, and Aesthetics can provide useful insight into how the game works and the experience it aims to create for players.

    What is?

     Analyzing a video game design involves breaking down its various elements and evaluating them to gain a
    deeper understanding of the game's strengths, weaknesses, and overall effectiveness. Here's a step-by-step
    approach to help you analyze a video game design.
    Steps?

     Play the Game


     Game's Genre and Target Audience
     Gameplay Mechanics
     Assess Level Design
     Game Balance
     Visuals and Audio
     Narrative and Storytelling
     User Interface and User Experience
     Multiplayer and Social Features
     Compare with Similar Games
     Player Feedback and Reception
     Strengths and Weaknesses
    What if?

     There is another way to breakdown any game?


    Framework?

     What if I say we can approach the new framework MDA which is developed in GDC 2004 (Game
    Development Conference).
     MDA is the formal approach to understanding a game – one which attempts to bridge the gap between
    game design and development, game criticism, and technical game research. We believe this methodology
    will clarify and strengthen the iterative processes of developers, scholars, and researchers alike, making it
    easier for all parties to decompose, study and design a board class of game designs and game artifacts.
    MDA?

     Mechanics?
     Dynamics?
     Aesthetics?
    In another words?

     Code: How the game works?


     Action: How the player acts?
     Feeling: How the player feel?
    Mechanics?

     Mechanics are the rules and systems that govern how a game works. They include things like game
    objectives, player actions, and scoring. By understanding the mechanics of a game, players can improve their
    gameplay and enhance their overall experience.
    Dynamics?

     Dynamics are the behaviors that emerge from the interaction of players with the game mechanics. They
    include things like player choices, strategy, and emergent gameplay. Understanding the dynamics of a game
    allows players to adapt their play style and create new and exciting experiences.
    Aesthetics?

     Aesthetics are the sensory and emotional experiences that games evoke. They include things like visual
    design, sound effects, and storytelling. By understanding the aesthetics of a game, players can immerse
    themselves in the game world and connect with the characters and story.
    Feelings?

     Powerful
     Creative
     Sneaky
     Tense
     Intimidated
     Curious
     Deceitful
     Cooprative
     Flustered
    Elements?

     Visual Style
     Music
     Animation
     Story
     Color
     Camera Frame
    Conclusion?

     It depends on the game you are trying to create, the emotions you’re trying to evoke, and the experience you
    want your player to have. - by Yacht Club Games
