Simulations vs Games
On today’s episode we’ll cover simulations vs games.
Games and simulations are two things that seem talked about in the same circles. Sometimes they even get misinterpreted for one another. They do share some of the same characteristics. But, games and simulations are different from one another. Before we jump into what those differences are, let’s first define what we mean by games.
What are games? Games are activities that have an explicit goal. There is a clear structure that guides players ‘choices and experiences. Games allow players to interact with the environment, other players, or both.
