Are you interested in developing games for a huge upcoming audience of retirees? This session discusses the findings from a decade of academic research on the topic and has some surprising findings. Most importantly, it concludes that older gamers are much less interested in game design that is focused on brain training and physical exercise than popular media would have you believe. It introduces a series of design guidelines that are derived from many interviews, surveys, gameplay experiments and design workshops with older adults. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of the ageism that is currently present in the games for older adults industry, an overview of how older audience actually incorporate digital games in their lives, and a set of helpful guidelines that will help them to overcome some of the challenges in making games that truly meet the needs of currently existing and future older gamers.]]>
