Description
Videogames: Design / Play / Disrupt is a landmark publication that explores the design and culture of videogames since the mid-2000s. It delves into groundbreaking contemporary design work, creative player communities, and the political conversations that define this movement. The book features contributions from a star-studded cast of designers and academics, who examine a range of games, from blockbuster titles like The Last of Us to cultural phenomena such as Minecraft. Rarely seen material includes designers' notebooks, concept art, prototypes, and artistic inspirations behind games like Journey and Kentucky Route Zero. Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Videogames: Design / Play / Disrupt brings videogames into the mainstream of cultural criticism, placing them alongside more conventional mediums of creative expression.
