Game Development between Idea, Mechanics, and Narrative Art
Those who only know games as entertainment will experience the creative and professional depth of the industry here. The focus is on game design, narrative structures, and the question of how digital formats connect emotion, interaction, and communication. Anne Sauer has been working since 2009 at the intersection of media education, game development, and cultural communication, bringing years of experience from projects related to education and serious games.
