It is kind of an overall introduction to prototyping. We're running a company (www.previewlabs.com) that is making rapid game prototypes. Mostly programed of coarse and not only casual games... I'd like to know how you guys think about how to use a prototype. In our experience a game prototype should be used to give a evaluate a game development project. If the prototype isn't right, the game shouldn't be made, right? by the way, I've referenced your article on my blog (www.previewlabs.com/blog). I really enjoyed this article.

They are little sophisticated, but not as much as if you'd have to code entire game mechanics.

The only type of prototyping not listed there and probably the most used in the (casual) games industry, is the Prototype With an Existing Game -type.
