Abstract

In this article we present a model and a protocol for guiding the process of developing digital games. The methodology of the study used for this work was action research. We suggest a model and a protocol based on analysis of the development process of two digital games. We refer to the fields of digital game designers, gamification and description protocols, which served as the structural basis for our suggestions. The final result of this research was the construction of a model whose use can enhance specialised methodologies and development frameworks for digital games.

Keywords: 

Model, protocol, game development, description, digital games.
