Upcoming Class: Designing Games For Impact

My class, Designing Games for Impact, continues next Wednesday on January 11.  Last time, we discussed PSAs, social impact games, and the art of persuasive messaging.  This second session will focus on how to deliver emotional impact and create more meaningful games. 

Whether you are an entertainment developer who wants to add another layer to gameplay and story or an activist or educator who wants to reach out through video games, together we'll discuss different methodologies to achieve your goals.

As always, Playcrafting NYC, which offers classes and events related to game development, offers Early Bird tickets, but if they sell out (and they have in the past), you'll have to pay full price. 

The details!
