The European Game Science Lab aims to bring together both game theory and game design to enhance education for the creation of games.
It aims to transform the understanding of game creation among students and educators and propose an innovative Ludo-Narrative Game Design framework (LUNA) which can be used in analog, digital, and hybrid formats and that entails "Play the Game Design" activities.
The LUNA framework helps the designer to not be lost in a sea of alternative, providing fast tracks for designing games as well as motivation to exert effort to solve new challenges in a playful context.
This framework provides game design teachers with tools and insights to speed up game design learning and practice, remaining flexible in terms of both methods and content.
The LUNA framework will be experimented for the first time in this summer school.
This event is a short, intensive and residential experience aimed at equipping participants with the basic knowledge to apply the LUNA Framework to fast game design and prototyping.
Participants will engage in fast game design and prototyping playing with a number of selected ludic ingredients and answering crucial ludic questions. This will take place in a playful activity, both individually and in groups, with the aim of deliveing a great game for changing society.
Deadline for application: July 10, 2025
