A Ludo-Narrative Framework for innovating Game Design teaching - Ennio Bilancini, Leonardo Boncinelli, Thomas Brember

The European Game Science Lab aims to bring together both game theory and game design to enhance education for the creation of games. We aim to transform the understanding of game creation among students and educators. Games can promote diversity, address social issues, support inclusion, and promote mental health. In order to facilitate a better design of them we propose a dedicated framework and innovative teaching method, namely the Ludo-Narrative Game Design framework (LUNA) which can be used in analog, digital, and hybrid formats and include a GenAI-supported assistance system.
