Table Tops: Mechanics as the Message

A session at Digital Shoreditch Festival 2012

Thursday 31st May, 2012

1:45pm to 2:15pm (GMT)

Games are increasingly being used as a method to teach people about complex systems. While it's easy to claim you're being innovative by creating a game that embodies your message, it's a lot harder to make a game that really does it. Join us as we dive into and tackle the problems of making serious games that are both fun and informative.

Questions answered :
How do you take a message and turn it into a game? If you're a game designer, what are the best practices for working with nonprofits? If you're a nonprofit, what are the best practices for creating games and working with designers?
