A Survey About Theory Use in Game Making

 

 

🕹️👾⚙️🔍🧬📖🗣️👷🏽🧱🏗️📦  

 

Hello! Welcome to our survey. It'll take about 10 minutes.

 

We (Dooley Murphy and Elisa Mekler) are collecting perspectives on how theories inform game makers' practice.

 

We're interested in what people with different backgrounds—game makers, game critics, games researchers, and games educators—believe makes theory attractive, useful, actionable, or just good.

 

Contribute with your opinion today! We'll share some initial insights in late 2026.
