Serious games developed for learning have gained popularity due to their promise for better learning outcomes. However, designing these games can be costly, take a long time, and may not lead to the desired outcomes if an adequate design process is not followed. Especially critical in this process is the creation of an effective game concept. Based on our experience in serious game development and the research gap we identified from the relevant literature, we developed the Art of Serious Game Design (ASGD) framework and methodology to aid developers in the conceptdevelopment stage of the serious game design process to address the needs of multidisciplinary teams through a practical step-by-step methodology. The ASGD methodology offers good potential in helping multidisciplinary serious game design teams improve the design process and, ultimately, the outcomes of serious games. We evaluated ASGD through a mixed-method approach and found that multidisciplinary game design teams perceived its positive effects in efficiency, structure and flow, usability, and team support. The actual prototype design process reflected these perceptions as well. ASGD was applied in practice to lead the design of a serious game during concept development, which produced a structured and detailed game concept with well-integrated learning outcomes in a timely manner. We conclude that the ASGD framework and methodology constitute a valuable tool for multidisciplinary teams working on the development of a serious game concept because of its ability to enhance brainstorming (through iteration) and streamline communication between team members.
