Games MDA

Games MDA or  "Mechanics, Dynamics & Aesthetics" is a process used when game developers are looking for inspiration from other games. The purpose of this method is to look at a games Mechanics, Dynamics and Aesthetics to see what truly made the game successful. After looking at the text and accompanying video I would have to agree with this method. I think in fact its defiantly something I could use to help me develop my own game. I think how ever its not to say that just because say I want to make a horror game I look at successful games such as outlast or five nights at freddys. My game is going to be a guaranteed success, but I definitely think that it will help to get a good creative idea and help steer you in the right direction.
