What’s an Environmental Game to You? A Look at How Players May Process Environmental Themes in Games
10:45 - 11:05Are Death Stranding or the Horizon series environmental games? What about Stardew Valley or Sonic: the Hedgehog? The way players process information in games, including any potential environmental messages, depends on their experience of the game, their attitudes, moods, or knowledge of the subject. We will look at examples from the mainstream and from the more “niche” areas of specifically environmental games production and try to evaluate their strengths and limitations in intentionally attempting to create reflection on environmental themes. We will also look at games that were not explicitly marketed as environmental, yet they can still be read as such by some and provide meaningful experiences charged with environmental themes.WhereRoom 211 & via zoom
