real teamwork
For the first time, the game design person collaborates closely with the grant proposal writing/ research team. I really like this approach. John was very patient in describing the details of the design in his mind. And we let him know our research questions and see if the design allows us to answer those questions. We also make it clear that we match the reserach questions based on the design, not vice versa. However, whereever possible, on the condition the game design is not forfeited, the game design will try its best to make the research easier. This approach makes both the designer and the researcher more excited about this project. (ITEST)
