Senior Director of Digital Learning Carrie Ray-Hill will present at MDEV 2025, the Midwest’s largest games industry-focused event that serves as a hub for indie and AAA developers, industry professionals, students, and casual gamers.
Session Description:
Every successful game series eventually faces a choice: play it safe or break your own rules. This session is about what happens when you choose to break them.
Join the content lead and producer of iCivics’ newest game, Investigation Declaration, for an honest conversation about innovation, risk, and evolution in educational game development. We’ll share what we broke (design conventions, brand expectations, teaching norms), what we built (new gameplay frames, connections across time and space), and what we learned (so far).
