Digital Alchemy

«Digital Alchemy» is an interactive and playful toolkit. This Master’s project conveys fundamental knowledge about the structure, function and effect of video games, enabling players to combine or manipulate sets of rules to create innovative game systems. Concepts such as the «bottom-up approach» and «serendipity» can thus be experienced in actual interactions. «Digital Alchemy» is a low-threshold and experimental exploration of how new game systems are created and how the individual and structural elements – mechanics and rules – are interrelated.
