Event Details

How do players experience games? That is an interesting question for people who make games. On March 7 the Player Experience theme will be discussed from various points of view, both academic and more practical. The DGA day will be held at the NHTV campus in Breda. Due to the fact that their researchers and lecturers are mainly non-Dutch speakers, the sessions during this DGA day will be in English.
