During Drexel University's Game Development Workshops, several recurring observations about student tendencies have influenced the workshops' structure and focus regarding game design foundations and development agendas. Originally, the game-design part of the workshops leveraged previously taught basic game theory, gameplay critique, and nonlinear-story skills. Now, it also addresses vaguely envisioned student game concepts and pitches. The game-development part of the workshops, which has employed agile development, is now structured to guide students with little experience in long-term project planning.
