We began our ethnographic research phase with our industry partners at the end of the last year and will continue it during the winter.
In order to grasp a better view on real-life game design our researchers will be spending a few weeks with some of our partners, actively participating in their daily work. The researchers will be reflecting and observing the game design processes of the companies and keeping a detailed diary during their stay.
In addition to understanding the daily life of a game designer, we are particularly looking at how the companies nurture and support creativity.
