Developers now have to rethink everything they know about the creative, technical and business challenges to adapt to the transition to games as a service. Games as a Service: How Free to Play Design Can Make Better Games has been written to help designers overcome many of the fears and misconceptions surrounding freemium and social games. It provides a framework to deliver better games rather than the 'evil' or 'manipulative' experiences some designers fear with the move away from wasteful Products to sustainable, trustworthy Services. Games as a Service features: - Step-by-Step guide to ethical social and freemium game design principles - Product Design techniques to help create commercial games without compromising fun - The Role of the Player Lifecycle from Discovery, Learning, Engaging, and Churning - End-of-chapter exercises providing a design framework for Game As A Service - Companion website (www.GamesAsAService.net) for designers to share ideas"--Back cover
