Creative Console: A Player-driven Game Based on A Modular Fast-Evolving-And-Verifying Framework
summary
Creative Console is a programming-free authoring game that lets players assemble and playtest game components in ~3-minute FEAV module loops and produce full prototypes in about 15 minutes to prototype. A 48-hour study with 21 participants yields 527 levels across 10 genres; the platform supports browsing, evolving others’ games, and Steam publishing. Grounded analysis codes 600+ initial items into 16 focus codes and five categories, arguing that modular FEAV plus serendipity and social communication accelerates iteration and broadens ideas.
