JOURNAL DETAILS

JOURNAL OF BOARDGAME DESIGN
http://jbdgames.blogspot.com/

Description

The focus is on game mechanisms – what makes a game exciting and why. How did the board game designer make his game fun? Components and theme are secondary. The play’s the thing.

 

JOURNAL OF GAME DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION (JGDDE)
http://www.rit.edu/gccis/gameeducationjournal/about

Description

The Journal of Game Design and Development Education (JGDDE) is a peer-reviewed journal that covers all aspects of teaching the art, craft and science of game design and development to students in and out of a higher education setting. We plan to cover a range of work in the emerging field, as well represented by the content in the first issue. For example, Ian Parberry’s piece covers the emergence and growth of his pioneering work in the field teaching game programming in a university setting over the better part of two decades while Beth Lameman’s article looks at an evolving effort to teach game design and development to pre-university indigenous youth as a way of recapturing and owning their heritage while David Schwartz’s effort chronicles the early design of a mixed hardware and software course to create new types of game controllers.

Games are a multidisciplinary medium and those who teach their creation come from as broad a set of backgrounds as you can find. JGDDE will celebrate that diversity of skills and backgrounds.

JOURNAL OF GAMING & VIRTUAL WORLDS
http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Journal,id=164/

Description

JOURNAL OF GAMES CRITICISM
http://gamescriticism.org/about/

Description

The Journal of Games Criticism grew out of lively conversations among graduate students and faculty from the Department of Communication and Media (C&M) and the Department of Science and Technology Studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Starting in 2012, several C&M students identified the need for critical tools for reflection about and useful for the design of video games. From these conversations, it is apparent that, while there are a handful of established journals within the field of games studies, additional space was needed to join together the communities at work within gaming culture. This space would call on all corners of the community, from developers and writers to bloggers and academics, to be a dynamic, current, and multifaceted journal. It continues the hallmark of peer-review from academic journals while opting for total inclusion.

We take video games as our impetus and our enterprise. With multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity as our tools, we look to the past of video gaming in order to orchestrate and build its future. Looking to rhetoric, media studies, and cultural studies, many apparatuses of analysis are present, but they all must be brought into these media and reborn.

 

JOURNAL OF IMMERSIVE EDUCATION
