11. Assignment 2 Deliverables Page 6, game progress is based are 6 meters, how are they related/inter-related? Page 7, What are the relative values of the food items and what was the decision process in deciding these values Page 10, What are the relative values of the games and what was the decision process in deciding these values Page 11, Impact of time and in-world items on the meters Page 14, How is the value of the currency calculated Page 18, Relative value of purchases and how it impacts on the game

12. Assignment 2 Deliverables Your game would need a similar approach i.e. look at how the individual parts come together and impact on each other. Some of this information/data can be presented in tables, some of it would be better in Excel. Gina and Circuit Warz models are complicated but your own model does not need to be as complicated. To summarise, this deliverable depends on the nature of your game and the data you are trying to present. If tables are more appropriate, use them. If Excel is easier use that.
