Hi,
I have just completed reading and researching the games MDA Design and framework.
MDA stands for Mechanics, Dynamic and Aesthetics of a game.
These 3 principles define how each game functions and which actions in a game are implemented by the player.
Mechanics describes the particular components of the game, at the level of data representation and algorithms.
Dynamics describes the run-time behavior of the mechanics acting on player inputs and each others outputs over time.
Aesthetics describes the desirable emotional responses evoked in the player, when she interacts with the game system.
MDA: A Formal Approach to Game Design and Game Research
This paper provides more insight into MDA design and framework.
This video explains MDA design framework in depth while showcasing good visual representation regarding the subject.
