In this episode of Game Studies for Everyone, we explore a fascinating perspective from the 2011 Digital Games Research Association Conference, : Are indie games the poetry of the gaming world? We'll dive into how independent games use poetic elements like meter, metaphor, and personification to create unique player experiences. Discover how comparing game design to literary forms like sonnets and haikus opens up a whole new way of understanding and classifying games, beyond just genres or themes.
Based on:
Grace, Lindsay D. "The Poetics of game design, rhetoric and the independent game." Proceedings of DiGRA 2011 Conference: Think Design Play. 2011.
