A Blog for Forward-Thinking Game Designers and Scholars

The medium of video games is a remarkably mysterious one. Even now, 46 years since the first video game was created, we have barely begun to understand the art of video game design. Universities are only beginning to adopt interactive media as an area of study, and the industry is currently doing little experimentation with games. And yet, if there is any art form right now that needs studying and experimentation, it is that of interactive media.

This blog is for forward-thinking game designers and game scholars who want to explore this medium, to discuss it, to work towards establishing principles of effective game design, and to help legitimize the art form. We believe that games can be as emotionally gripping and powerful as literature and film, and our goal is to unlock this potential.

It's our move. Let's begin.
