This book showcases the entire lifecycle of a serious games project and guides the reader through the different phases step by step. It follows a narrative approach, telling the story of a young game developer in a fictitious near-future setting who overcomes the challenges of a typical development process. The narrative is enriched by 15 short contributions from multinational experts on relevant topics for the development process of serious games.

This book describes a holistic approach to serious games development and follows a project from its very beginning to its end. It covers the planning, creation, implementation and evaluation of a serious game. It does not cover technical details on how to write code or graphics for video games, but rather sets a focus on the conceptualization of serious games and coordination between the different roles and team members.

This book will be of great interest to beginners who want to use serious games to solve their problems. It will appeal to students of game development but also project managers who want to gain a better overview of the process as a whole and learn about tools and frameworks they apply in their own context right away.
