Abstract
This paper focuses on the use of design science research methodology for simulation game development. The First part describes the theoretical background for using such a technique, the Second reports on a post-mortem of the development process. We provide a short analysis of the similarity between existing business simulations and video games. The result of this research is our own model of the interrelations in game elements that can help evoke engagement and strengthen user experience of played game.
