These lectures are live, where we discuss, "What makes a Great Game?"
And as we discuss this, we will see, over the course of this series, if I am able to get closer and closer to that ideal- if I am able to instantiate into reality a great game. I have skin in the game, so to speak, because my hope, as is the hope of all game developers, is to create a great game.
The first broad theme of these lectures is on the nature of Education. And hopefully you'll see with time how the nature of education is directly tied to the nature of quality- and what makes anything great in the first place- or at least better than anything else.
