17 Jun Free Gaming: Serious Games

As chairman of BGIn‘s Serious Games special interest group, Dylan will host a meeting about the future of the serious games industry during the Free Gaming Business Event.

Over the past few decades, video games have emerged as a powerful form of entertainment with limitless possibilities. “Serious Games”, are applications that inform, educate and train players through game technology and game design principles for a primary purpose other than pure entertainment. These video games range from small Flash experiments to complex 3D multi-user virtual worlds that utilize engaging, self-reinforcing context in which to motivate and educate players. Although still in its relative infancy, the Serious Games segment of the video games industry is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years.

The Free Gaming event will be held in Rotterdam on June 21st.

Entrance is free for all, you can register here.
