In this lecture:Eric Zimmerman “On The Rules We Break”
6 MAR, 2.30 - 3.30 pm CETThe borders between game studies and game design have always been wonderfully blurry, creating an intriguing playground for gaining knowledge through creative and thought-provoking approaches to design and experimentation. The Rules We Break is based on thirty years of teaching game design, filled with hands-on exercises for playful thinking and rigorous design. This highly interactive talk will present core ideas from the book and address fundamental concepts like play and meaning, system dynamics, representation and simulation, interactive storytelling, creative misbehavior, and the iterative process of design.<a href="https://ericzimmerman.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3f20f66553c3d7b045f5ca007&amp;id=2486ec731c&amp;e=c6152fb7af" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">More info and a sneak peek of the book here. </a><blockquote><a href="https://ericzimmerman.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3f20f66553c3d7b045f5ca007&amp;id=2486ec731c&amp;e=c6152fb7af" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>Tags: #gamedesign #gamestudies #gameculture #design #creativity #meaning #representation #simulation #interactivestorytelling</blockquote>Eric Zimmerman is an award-winning game designer who has been inventing play on and off the computer for more than 25 years.
