The department of Game Design at Uppsala University, campus Gotland
We use our ever-growing network to lure speakers from the game- & movie industry, academia and independent scene to the island. Unfortunately we’re very poor with keeping this category up to date; including the Gotland Game Conference we average 1 guest lecture every 14th day! Some of these are recorded – check the youtube channel. If you wish to speak with Sweden’s strongest game design students (or their staff), contact Ulf!
Ernest is back for a talk on Emerging Issues in Game Design. Topics include new input devices, disabilities, artificial intelligence, interactive narratives, sex in games and much more.
