What is the mise-en-scene in a game? In movies it’s the way we use certain means to serve an intention; for instance relaying narrative, an emotion, or a message. In the case of film, the list of means varies but includes design aspects like set design, lighting, acting, and costumes. In this workshop, we will explore this list of means for game design.  We will particularly focus on signs and feedbacks as a core means to establish the gameplay vocabulary with the player.
