Watch the full recording of our Multidisciplinary Panel about Cooperative Games that took place Thursday, March 14th, 2019. Our three PhD student speakers discussed co-operative games as a genre through their perspectives and experiences with the games Spirit Island (2017; board game) and Overcooked 2 (2018; video game).
We asked the panelists to use Spirit Island and Overcooked 2 as a springboard for a larger discussion about how they would research the genre of co-operative games. Each of our speakers brought their unique disciplinary backgrounds into the discussion and showcased how collaborations between different games research approaches constructs a more robust understanding of games overall.
