Topic: "Demystifying Play: Getting Started with Game Design"

Interested in game design but not sure where to get started? Don’t worry: you’ve probably already made a game or two.

Join game designers Dominique Dickey and C. J. Linton for an introductory game design workshop. We’ll start with theory and then get hands on to explore the why and how of making a game. This workshop is intended for folks who are new to game design or excited to go back to the basics!
