4. Game Components Mechanics Story Aesthetics Technology What Does A Game Have? Shell identified four basic elements of most games, including mechanics, story, aesthetics, and technology. Mechanics cover the goal, space, rule, and actions of all objects inside a game. Story and aesthetics add entertainment value, the look and feel of a real world, and interactivity.

5. Game Components Formal Dramatic System Dynamics What Does A Game Have? Fullerton et al. recommended that games include formal elements, dramatic elements, and system dynamics. Formal elements include players, objectives, procedures, rules, resources, conflict, boundary, and outcome. Dramatic elements include challenge, play, premise, character, story, and world building. System dynamics include properties, behaviors, and interactions of objects within a game and the interactive experiences between players and the game.
