دانلود کتاب طراحی بازی‌های دیجیتال: آواها، ارزش‌ها و چشم‌اندازها

Digital games have become central cultural artefacts, influencing educa-tion, art, ethics, and social participation. Despite growing academic attention, research on game design has largely remained prescriptive, often overlooking how design is enacted in professional contexts. This chapter introduces Digital Games Design: Voices, Values and Visions, a volume that addresses this gap through a qual-itative, practice-based investigation grounded in designers’ narrations. Adopting a Grounded Theory methodology, the book reconstructs shared patterns, assumptions, and decision-making processes emerging from professional experience. The anal-ysis is structured around three interconnected lenses: designers’ voices, which reveal situated knowledge; values, which highlight artistic, ethical, and cultural dimensions embedded in design practice; and visions, which frame how designers imagine games, players, and their societal role. Additionally, the chapter outlines the structure of the volume, which examines design processes, artistic expression, ethical responsibility, and accessibility as interrelated dimensions of contemporary game design.
