“…Traditional game design approaches [9] [10] are often based on software engineering processes -concept, pre-production, prototyping, production, and assessment. According to different authors [11] [12], as there are different kinds of software which need different ways of development, there are also different genres of digital games (adventure, action, sports, simulation) which need different design methods. Design techniques to create an action game are different from that of a puzzle game, and it is hard to cover all game differences in a unique method [15].…”

Serious games have been understood as a useful tool to engage, educate and train individuals in many areas. They are also suitable for the business processes management area where it is expected that business-process-based digital games can bring together players (process actors) to better understand and learn organizational business processes. This paper presents a game design method for the development of serious games which aims to provide business process understanding to players, as well as to allow them to reflect on process challenges and difficulties. The design of serious business process games requires game designers to have business process modeling skills and instructions on how to represent business process elements in the game context. This research was conducted using the Design Science Research Methodology, and addresses the challenge of providing a method for the design of serious business process games. The method receives business process models as input and comprises steps to (i) map business process elements into game design elements, game design and development, and (ii) evaluate games with game designers, process actors, and game players. In order to validate the method, a set of games was built and evaluated with players. The designed games were evaluated as to adequate quality, although fun and entertainment can still be improved, and players´ understanding regarding process increase after games are played

Given the rapid growth and high demand in the entertainment industry, it is crucial to implement best practices in digital game project management to ensure successful projects within the Triple Constraint of costs, time, and scope. This study aims to provide a valuable empirical reference for game project professionals and researchers by identifying the primary methods, processes, and methodologies used in digital game project management. Using a systematic literature review (SLR) approach, we analyzed 65 primary studies out of an initial pool of 6,658, covering the period from 2010 to 2021. Our results reveal that the most frequently mentioned artifact groups were models (34.1%) and processes (31.7%), and the majority of authors were from Brazil and Indonesia. Overall our findings highlight the prevalence of game projects that do not adopt project management practices, particularly among indie game teams.
