The Industry track is the space responsible for the connection between market and university, developing interfaces and discussions on the production and distribution of digital games. In order to make a think tank for the Brazilian gaming industry, this track brings together researchers, developers, entrepreneurs, teachers and students in a wide space of collaboration and exchange of ideas.
The industry track consists of 3 activities:

Academic Forum: Responsible for the connection between academia and the market, developing interfaces and discussions on the production and distribution of digital games
Industry Forum: Lectures and round tables that promote frontier debates on topics of interest to professionals and businessmen in the sector.
Talent Forum: Space to connect industry professionals and entrepreneurs in search of talent for hiring and freelance.

Experience Reports

Experience reports are articles reporting any applied experience in the Digital Games Industry. The texts do not have to follow the academic language and can be written in first person – as long as respecting the cultured norm of Portuguese or English.

How was the Steam self-publishing strategy defined? How was a particular regional association structured? How was it to deal with the bureaucracy of a game produced with a public fund? Many important knowledge is accumulated by the developers’ daily lives, and is lost due to the lack of space for this documentation. The objective of this category is to publicize a series of practical knowledge of Industry that has not been systematized by the academic area. Thus, the perceptions of the professional are more important than theoretical rigor. It is desirable that the experiences be based on examples, data and experiences.

The Experience Reports will be published as a chapter in the Digital Games Industry Yearbook in ebook format, published by an academic publisher, with an ISBN issue. This modality will not be published in the annals with the IEEE.

Formatting: All works must be typed in Microsoft Word, or compatible program (the file must be saved with the extension “.doc”), Times New Roman font, size 12, 1.5 space between lines and paragraphs. The pages must be configured in A4 format, without numbering, with 3 cm on the upper and left margins and 2 cm on the lower and right margins.

The experience reports must have up to 10 pages in the indicated format, including eventual references.
