    Guest: Tracy Roberts, Director of Learning and Teaching at BCcampus

    Host: Selina McGinnis, Product Designer

    Topics covered:

    Tracy is big fun and has played all kinds of games for many years. How a game looks and feel is at the core of enjoyment. It must be beautiful, funny, and adventurous! But there are games that don't capture her attention and games. We talk about:

    • Game aesthetic
    • Picking games that fit your skills and devices
    • Co-operative games
    • Taking games offline

    In this episode, we try to learn about how we can design games that meet people where they are without giving up on that game aesthetic.
