Anastasia Salter on episode 188 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast discusses designing inclusive games for the Higher Ed classroom.
Quotes from the episode
What comes out of it is what someone imagines.
The first thing to decide is why you are making the game. How do you want people to encounter this concept you have?
Start out trying to build the thing that brought you to games.
