Science and Design

“Game design is second order design.”

Iteration.

Game industry is still very personal.

But it’s kinda hard...

What is happening?

Casual turn

Everybody plays.

Social turn

Metrics are here.

Games are big.

Triple-A ??

We attract kids that love games.

“We don’t need another you.”

Girls have to wait in line too.

What to learn and what to teach?

Prepare!

Hybrid experiences.

More players.

Design is a bitch.

“If you love what you do, you will preserve.”

You are not the audience.

Don’t stand at the crossroads waiting.

Make brave games.

Don’t be afraid to stand out.

Prepare to fail.

And do it again.

Now let’s go cupcakes.
