Through this study was designed to give educational online game design process knowledge point into the method of education, educational games to achieve the overall project planning and design. This study is divided into six chapters, including the following: 1, the first chapter, the main gives the research background, purpose, meaning and thinking methods.2, the theory of the second chapter, the main key elements of game design is given, the basic principles and models.3, Chapter III of online game development and market opportunity analysis, primarily of online games are given the basic situation and development of our educational online game market opportunities and modalities.4, Chapter IV, educational online game user orientation and choice, mainly analyses educational online game user orientation, and users' characters. Meanwhile, give the suggestion of content selection and the principle of educational online game development process should be guided by.5, Chapter V "space journey" game design and development, given the "space journey" of specific cases and game design "space journey" game design process knowledge point of collection and use of such details.6, Chapter VI Conclusions and limitations. Papers presented on the main findings and deficiencies.In this study, theory of game design, game development and design practice and the concrete conditions of China, on how to develop China's national conditions suitable for the educational needs of our customers online games are explored for the development and guide China's game market, for our educational online games in the planning, design and management of the specific practice has a certain value.
