#dfgamesworkshop
Games are the fastest growing form of entertainment in the world, taking eyeballs away from film and TV alike. The power of play is such that as well as making billions for publishers, and millions for developers, it's being used by governments, doctors, activists and artists to explore ideas and develop new ways of communicating with audiences. More and more documentary makers are recognising the power of games, but how do you get started? This session, hosted by game designers experienced in making games as entertainment, as art, and as education, will provide you with the basic tools you need to start harnessing the power of play for your own projects. This is a fun, pragmatic, non-technical session ideal for people with no previous experience of game-making. This session is open to the public- First come, first served.
