Slideshare presentations of the week: games

Anjali Ramachandran  ·   23 May 2011

Games are a fascination, a pastime and a way of life for some of us at Made by Many, depending on who you speak to. This week, we're going to delve deep into games and gamification in our weekly post on interesting presentations. 

Last year, I saw Sebastian Deterding give an excellent talk on gamification at Playful 2010. He recently spoke at Digital Shoreditch on ten potential pitfalls of gamification, with a rather nice-looking set of slides. I also really like the font that he's used!

Ed Byrne, Creative Director at Zipper Interactive, was at helm of a workshop at the Game Developers Conference recently on the subject of how to design game levels in a day. One was a pre-production workshop and then there was the actual workshop itself.

And finally, Sylvain Cottong gives a very basic introduction to what gamification is for all those people who've heard the word a million times but just aren't sure what it means.

Anjali couldn't shake off the habit of calling herself a 'citizen of the world' for the last decade, having lived in 5 countries so far, but has now amended that to 'citizen of the internetz'. She is a strong believer in technology as an agent of social change and likes exploring the relationship between digital services and physical objects. Robots and transmedia storytelling projects intrigue her.
