SURVIVING APPLIED GAMES

Pietro Polsinelli discusses a diverse set of applied game projects that he curated, focusing on common mistakes and solutions that are specific to the applied game process, in particular working with field experts that have no experience with games. The talks will consider the (no)estimation, concept, design and production phases/loops, providing tips, modelling and conceptual tools to improve the quality of the process and of the resulting game.

Pietro Polsinelli is a game designer and developer, mostly working on applied games. Polsinelli has developed games for companies, public institutions, museums, and research centres on a wide spectrum of topics, from the safety of offshore platforms to family neglect and abuse prevention. Polsinelli has been developing software for more than 30 years and applied games since 2010. For more information, click here.

La presentazione descrive le fasi di (s)preventivo, ideazione, progettazione e produzione, fornendo strumenti concettuali e pratici per migliorare la qualità del processo e del videogioco risultante.
