Digital Games have been a core cultural and technological industry within the creative economy. In this course, students will gain understanding of the nuances of gameplay and apply its concepts to a range of game genres. By critically reflecting upon theories (such as narratology and ludology), students will contextualise their engagement with games both as players and as producers through the history, philosophy, and practice of digital games. This will include discussing key contemporary features, and learning basic concepts when designing and producing a game to develop useful understandings for their own creative practice
