Short Description:
A guided session to help creators identify what they want, convey what they have to offer, & deliver on promises. ** GAME DESIGN ACADEMY ONLY EVENT / NOT INTENDED FOR GENERAL TRADE DAY AUDIENCE **
Long Description:
Many people enter creative and entrepreneurial fields to build something meaningful or improve the world, but aligning those intentions with real outcomes can be difficult. Game design in particular is complex, and many designers struggle to fully realize their vision—for their projects and themselves. This session introduces reflective exercises that help designers clarify their goals, understand what their games truly offer players, and identify gaps between intention and experience. By resolving these misalignments, designers can create more authentic, engaging games, better connect with their audience, and define their own measures of success. Participants will apply these techniques to their own work, developing clearer direction as well as a stronger narrative foundation for pitching, marketing, and future development.
