2018 Games for Change Festival

Every game involves interacting with some form of simulation of the real world, whether it's physics or in-game economics or social interaction with NPCs. This fact offers designers an unprecedented opportunity for educating their players, without ever breaking the gameplay experience. Follow the development of TerraGenesis, the indie mobile sensation with over two million players, and explore how it seamlessly integrates real scientific principles into its game mechanics. By using real-world science alongside fictionalized gameplay, TerraGenesis simultaneously deepens its players' experiences and introduces people to new aspects of the world they might have never discovered.
