"While narrative games often put off gamers due to their lack of action, Where The Water Tastes Like Wine keeps fans engaged with its dazzling 1900s Americana aesthetics and superb voice acting."

For those at @Official_GDC #GDC2021, we're hosting a roundtable on #SeriousGames. Join us for a conversation about #bestpractices, funding, and the challenges & opportunities presented by the #COVID19 pandemic! https://t.co/ImFHWLaJ3w

[IGDA Serious Games @IGDA_SGSIG]

COVID-19 card game (portable, easily distributed) + #AugmentedReality mobile app (linking to most up to date info), showcases how games and other transmedia projects can function as part of a much larger training and operations ecosystem. #SeriousPlay #SeriousGames

[IGDA Serious Games @IGDA_SGSIG]

Dr. Metcalf @UCF has been working on games and simulations to help address the #Covid_19 #pandemic. His work, which included flash cards, an #AugmentedReality cough simulator (to see just how masking helps) and more, went out to all @NATO countries! #SeriousPlay

"A #transmedia approach made sense not just from a production perspective, but a learning perspective. Develop once, deliver on multiple platforms."- David Metcalf from @UCF #METIL, on the Card Game Used by @USArmy for #Covid19 education / response #seriousplay

[IGDA Serious Games @IGDA_SGSIG]

"When doing #seriousgame development in university settings, having an on-campus studio, with full-time staff, can be useful for sustainability. Faculty often have too many obligations to just take on one more thing for an extended amount of time." - Josh Peery, @ECU #SeriousPlay

[IGDA Serious Games @IGDA_SGSIG]

"Tech penetration is higher for smartphones than for toilets. That is, more people have access to smartphones than toilets." - Josh Peery, lead @ECU #gamedesigner for Instructional Technology #SeriousPlay #gamebasedlearning

#MentalHealth is an important topic that often gets “shoved under the rug” in game development and other context. Learn how to address it both during the game development process and in games themselves at #SeriousPlay https://t.co/fj2iHaW4a1 #HealthcareGames #SeriousGames
