FDG 2020 - Malta

Games As Story Generators

The panel will be organized into two parts. For the first half of the panel, the panelists will speak about their recent research looking at the theme of “Games as Story Generators”, discuss implications and connections of this work with other recent research, and present open research questions. The second half of the panel will consist of audience discussion in the form of a question-answer and open discussion period. This time will allow FDG attendees to bring forward comments, questions, and concerns for the panel to discuss. In the event that the audience does not put forward questions we will also pre-author a selection of questions and topics for the panelists to discuss, with a goal towards sparking audience discussion and participation.

Designing Games for Remote Play

As many of us are confined to our homes, or avoid going meeting people, play and games have shifted to other channels – many traditional board or role playing games have become electronic, in order to be played via the internet. Other playful interactions have also shifted online, but the lack of the existing physical elements and presents makes some of these approaches seem like a clutch. In this panel we want to turn this question around, and ask, what are the things that work well? How would you design a game that not only compensates, but takes advantage of the various forms of telecommunication necessary to reach out to people?
