Conclusion
We have found that is possible to apply, adapt and extend Butler's progression plan-
ning approach to other game genres, by using three contrasting case studies with con-
crete progression planning challenges to discipline and inform this process. It being
unlikely that we have anticipated all the needs of our three design case studies, further
additions and modifications will probably need to be made during this process. Our
next step is practice-based evaluation: we will integrate the tool into the progression
design process of our three case studies, and diarize the experiences of the designer
for analysis. This analysis will then be used towards developing a generic tool-
supported progression design process that can be refined and tested with a wider
group of designers and design cases.
