Is he still a young man or is she by now a middleaged woman? Both – of course – and a lot more. And since we know that people of every demographics play games, it is now time to be more precise about exactly why and how different people play games, how to reach them, and how to address this diversity of players in the game design process.
What motivates people to play your games, and what makes it a meaningful experience for them? What tools can help us understand players better in order to design even more engaging games? Ultimately this might also lead to the discovery of new types of desired gaming experiences and change our overall view on gaming culture.
We have a great line-up of competent people in this field. The speakers are game writer Meg Jayanth, gamer data analyst Nick Yee, game researcher Bob de Schutter and more.
