Session Name: | Let the Games Be Games: Aesthetics, Instrumentalization & Game Design |
Speaker(s): | Eric Zimmerman |
Company Name(s): | Independent |
Track / Format: | Game Design |
Overview: |
Games are ancient, but the field of game design - in fact, the very idea that someone could create games professionally - is a relatively recent invention. Only a few decades after videogames began, we find ourselves at the start of a "ludic century," in which games increasingly define art, media, and culture. |
