116 ALIVE | Breaking Barriers: Access in Gaming Technology | Jonathan Peters PhD
SUMMARY
In this conversation, Jonathan Peters, PhD discusses the future of gaming, focusing on the importance of understanding player archetypes, the barriers to access in gaming technology, and the implications for game design with David Kolmer. The dialogue emphasizes the need for inclusivity in gaming experiences and the challenges faced by new players in adapting to advanced gaming technologies.
GAMELAYER ALIVE: Gamified Podcast Creation. Recorded live on site at GAMICON 2025 in New Orleans, Louisiana. This is a mini-series that highlights experts in the field of game learning, simple practitioners, and even those who are just curious, who happen to be at the conference. These high-signal micro-episodes will be released daily starting January 2026.
This miniseries itself is organized through a card game that promotes conversations through self-hugging. Self-hugging is the aspect or tendency of a designer to create learning environments or artifacts that they themselves would enjoy consuming. This is seen as a negative practice in the game-learning industry. However, for a discussion, self-hugging is actually pretty useful.
In this game, practitioners will identify with one of five cards. The cards are laid out on a spectrum of potential personas. Starting with the scientist on one and the Mystic on the other, after selecting their persona card, the speaker will be guided to choose one of three topic cards. The topic of building, the topic of measuring out outcomes, or the topic of the future of the L&D industry.
