In the fourth episode of our "Further Questions" series on the Games Now podcast, we engage with Jordan Magnuson, an independent game maker and scholar.
In November 2023, Jordan presented a talk titled “Videogames Are Poems,” exploring how video games can transcend traditional symbols to evoke complex emotions and convey deep meanings, akin to poetry. Known for experimental games like Loneliness, Jordan's work delves into nuanced emotional landscapes, featured on Wired and PC Gamer and showcased in international festivals.
Join us as we delve into Jordan's insights on the use of poems as tools in game creation, the intentional and emergent nature of video game poems, and Jordan's personal pride and reflections on his game poems. Tune in to learn more!
