Co-creating Videogames

User-generated content and user-led innovation has become a significant cultural and economic phenomenon as media consumers have become media producers. This book offers a rich description and analysis of the emerging participatory, co-creative relationships within the video game industry. Banks discusses the challenges of incorporating these co-creative relationships into the development process. Drawing on a decade of research within the industry, the book gives us a unique insight into the continually changing and growing world of video games.

John Banks is Senior Lecturer in the Creative Industries Faculty at Queensland University of Technology, Australia. He has also worked in the videogames industry and has published widely from research grounded in this industry background.
