Always keen to support the gaming types of Perth, the good folk at FTI have organised another informative event to help us get the best out of our games. Presented by Christy Dena, a writer-designer-director and lecturer with many an award/game/digital project to her name,  event will explore the depths depths of games and the messages we can convey through them.

In this lecture and workshop, we will delve into the design of games that have a message, are personal, philosophical, transformational, or focus on the emotional journey. On top of game design techniques, deep games involve different processes and design considerations. To illuminate how they can be designed more effectively, various deep games will be deconstructed to highlight the writing and design techniques employed. In the workshop we will apply different methodologies to develop deep game ideas.
