AGE Model 1.1.a released.

The first major revision of the AGE Model is now out and about, and can be downloaded here.

The changes:

• The role of Emulation in the model has changed significantly, and this affects its relationships with the other principles – primarily in things like the Forces.

• Added the Six Forces to the model, which represent the various attitudes that influence the style of play and the design of games.

• ‘Narrative’ has changed meaning – diegesis and exegesis are now the Two Times.

• Added the space diagram that I created here on the blog along with supporting text.

The next revision will have a number of more complex gamic structures and a rundown of examples and exemplar games.
