Making Games is the 14th annual international spring seminar organized by University of Tampere Game Research Lab. The theme changes each year, as do the expert commentators. The Game Research Lab Spring Seminar is the longest running game studies seminar.
The seminar emphasizes work-in-progress submissions, and we strongly encourage submitting late breaking results, working papers, and submissions from graduate and PhD students. The purpose of the seminar is to have peer-to-peer discussions and thereby provide support in refining and improving research work in this area.
Making games takes place on 24-25 April 2018, at The Finnish Museum of Games, Tampere, Finland. The seminar is hosted by University of Tampere Game Research Lab, and is chaired by professor Frans Mäyrä.
