What are Progression Systems in Games? On today’s episode, we’ll answer the question: What are progression systems in games? One of the most becoming aspects of games is our ability to interact, change, and progress with them. We can progress as individual players; progress against opponents; and progress against the game itself. The formal elements of games in concert with game designers make up these different “progression systems” in games. But what are progression systems? How are they used? How can the best aspects of them be incorporated in the design process? And most importantly, how can they be used for games-based learning?
