GAMEPLAY is a university-based incubator for indie video games, a space connecting emerging creators with game studies to promote projects with a desire for transformation in the field of video games. Its goal is to support and guide the development of projects by UPF students and alumni, particularly those of an indie/alternative nature or that operate at the intersection of video games and digital arts. At the same time, it works as a tool to foster dialogue between the university, industry, and social agents, and to promote cultural dissemination around video games and contemporary game studies.
