jamLABS: Video Game Design w/ Elinor Dooley

Wednesday 5/4 6-9pm

So you played [insert name game you like]. And whether you won or were brutally defeated, it got you thinking, which got you wondering, which got you asking “how was that designed?” With an eye to the importance of the design process, this workshop will explore answering that question with strategies for thinking about and creating games. We’ll engage with the basic elements of some of the games we know and use them as a springboard for creating strong experiences for players in our own games.

Elinor Dooley is an explorative storyteller and designer with a passion for video games and film. She received a BA in film and digital arts from Dartmouth College where she was recognized by the department for her work on several student films with the 2020 Kaplan Filmmaker of the Year Award. Elinor has worked as an assistant game designer at Tiltfactor, a Dartmouth teaching assistant for the video art and game design courses, and as a video editor with Activision’s Creative Marketing team.
