Game Papers

Game Papers present original work from creative and technical communities that design and develop commercial and non-commercial video games, and from academic research communities that study video games, game play, human-computer interaction, learning, and related technologies. Game Papers explore key issues in video games, inform and substantively advance our current state of knowledge and understanding, and foster new areas for investigation that will drive the next generation of player experience.

Game Papers on a wide range of video game design and development topics (theory, practice, methodologies, and criticism) are presented by authors whose papers are selected in a thorough and rigorous review process to ensure that they represent significant contributions to game design and development.
