4th Game Design Student working on After Robot a board game about taxi’s in South Africa. I am interested in the how games work to bring people together and thus have recently looked at experimental controls to allow people to interact. Did a research project on what the perceived role of games in small communities is? This research was conducted in a small community in Limpopo called Lebowakgomo. As a game designer, focus on mainly making board games and level design and design , However I have come to realise the opportunity that experimental controls give me in making games that are accessible to all.
