How do video game stories get developed and told? And how do those story lines influence gamers in the real world?
On this episode, we talk with John Staats, author and game designer, to learn how these vehicles of immersion captivate the imagination. Also at our table, we had Casey Chambers and Torin Wright, who are professional gamers with TESPA a collegiate eSports platform. This competitive team accessed their gaming stage to highlight social injustice and use their voices to protest issues around the world.
While some see video games as child's play, these guests explain that culture, agency, and social interactions are key elements as well!
