< Back Joshua Kritz Queen Mary University of London iGGi PG Researcher Available for placement Graduated in Applied Mathematics in computer science, however my love for games pushed me to dedicate myself for studying them. This led me to brave many areas of knowledge, such as: psychology, design, education, production and entrepreneurship. My work as a teacher allowed me develop many of these skills in practice, besides invoking a new perspective about the world. On a personal level, I love new experiences that can teach me new knowledge and, most important, I am very open minded and easy to talk to! I believe discussion leads to enlightenment. A description of Joshua's research: Card games, in particular Trading Card Games (TCGs) thrive on using the synergy between the cards to create emergent and interesting gameplay. However, these games usually have hundreds of different cards to create such rich experience, with some older TCGs featuring thousands of different cards. With such a huge amount of different cards playtesting these games present a big challenge. In example a new set of Magic the Gathering takes over 3 years of development to be fully designed. But even considering simpler exemplars like Dominion or Assencion can be difficult to balance, and both games are known to need a few expansions of experience to indeed provide a well balanced experience. One way to make this task faster and easier is to use automated agents to playtest the game exhaustively and provide much needed data. Whilst this would assist card game development, it is not used in practice, the playtesting of card games is still completely done by players. Even with systematic playtesting there is a limit of how much of the possibilities humans can test. However, implementing playtesting of card games have two big challenges, which are the main reason it has not been implemented in practice yet. First: Automated agents are not great when playing a game with too many variables (different cards) Second: The possible combinations of cards used in a deck or set of a single game is huge. My research aim to address the second issue by using a theory of synergy between cards to reduce the search space necessary to properly evaluate a card game.

< Back Dr Catherine Flick iGGi Responsible Innovation Lead Supervisor Catherine Flick is a Reader in Computing and Social Responsibility at De Montfort University and has a particular interest in the ethics of emerging technologies (including video games). Her video game research is largely interdisciplinary and focused on the social and ethical impacts of and ethics in design of video games. Previous video game research and talk topics includes on Pokemon Go and mental health, design of moral decision making systems in Bioware games, the representation of chickens in video games, the philosophy of zombie games, desirability of lootboxes, serious games for the hearing impaired, etc. She regularly attends and speaks at PAX East, and has spoken on games and similarly weird things at various conferences and events internationally. She is also the responsible innovation lead for the IGGI programme, so has a particular interest in development of codes of ethics or ethical design principles for games, having worked on the updated ACM Code of Ethics and run EU funded projects that developed responsible innovation guidelines in the fields of healthcare IT, smart homes/smart health, cyber security, nanotechnology & biomedicine. She is particularly interested in students who are excited about the intersection of video games and society from a critical philosophical perspective, or from a social sciences perspective.

We are "Welcoming inclusive Games & Games inclusivity (WiGGi). Our members are staff and students working within the iGGi programme, which is an interdisciplinary team of researchers working in video games research. iGGi WiGGi - Welcoming inclusive Games and Games inclusivity - Introducing WiGGi We are Welcoming inclusive Games and Games inclusivity (WiGGi). We strongly believe that working in video games, whether that be in an academic setting or in industry, should be an inclusive and friendly environment where underrepresented groups (ethnic or cultural minorities, minority genders, religious background etc) especially can thrive and be heard. WiGGi holds the advocacy for these underrepresented groups in video games at the forefront of its agenda, making sure that events we plan, organisations we partner with and the topics we address are topical and engaging for people of a range of backgrounds. Our members are staff and students working within the iGGi programme, which is an interdisciplinary team of researchers working in video games research. We hold meetings every Wednesday, as well as roundtable discussions we call ‘Firesides’ every so often to talk with a range of people about a given relevant topic. For example, one of our Firesides discussed ‘Video games for positive change’. Get involved We would love to partner with more organisations that share a similar goal, or invite in more video game researchers or industry to take part in our events. If you would like to know more or get involved in some way, please contact us via our email: . WiGGi Members Tamsin Isaac Organiser Nicole Levermore Organiser Tania Dales Susanne Binder Prakriti Nayak Océane Lissillour Lauren Winter Dr Raluca Gaina Alex Flint BLOG WiGGi’s Beach Break @ Develop:Brighton 2026 Despite a few unexpected hurdles, WiGGi’s Beach Break @ Develop:Brighton turned out to be a fantastic hour or so of sunshine and connection. Though all 15 tickets were snapped up in advance, the event ran into a clash of mega-events: the England World Cup match kicked off that afternoon, and an unexpected shift in the Develop Awards timetable kept many attendees away. Luckily, game researchers know how to adapt! A great group of iGGi PhD researchers took to the beach to play our planned beach ball icebreaker games, enjoying the fresh sea air and genuine laughs. We also had a couple of industry guests arrive during the event to join in on the fun. In true WiGGi fashion, what could have been a washout turned into a warm, low-pressure space for iGGi members to unwind, connect, and celebrate community by the sea. Parallel Paper Writing Event - May 2026 Our Parallel Paper Writing event brought together iGGi students across York and Queen Mary University of London for an afternoon of focused writing and collaborative working. Running simultaneously at both sites, the event provided dedicated time for members to make progress on papers, theses and other research outputs in a supportive environment. Having now organised several of these events, Parallel Paper Writing has become a valued part of the WiGGi calendar. The sessions offer dedicated, distraction-free writing time while creating opportunities for members to encourage one another, share ideas and celebrate progress together. Working alongside others can make even the most challenging writing tasks feel more manageable. By combining structured writing blocks with regular breaks, participants were able to stay motivated, connect with fellow researchers and build accountability in a relaxed and welcoming environment. The event also provided an opportunity for students from different cohorts and institutions to meet, exchange experiences and support one another. While everyone was working on different projects, the shared goal of making progress created a collaborative atmosphere that reflects WiGGi's commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive research community. We're looking forward to continuing these sessions and welcoming even more people to write alongside us. Fireside Chat on Video Games for Positive Change Our most recent fireside discussed ‘Video games for positive change’. Our fireside chat on video games for social change was an engaging and thought-provoking discussion. We delved deeply into the representation of women in video games and explored how these portrayals impact our gaming experiences. This focus sparked an exchange of diverse perspectives, highlighting how inclusive representation can shape and transform player engagement. Each participant brought unique insights on how characters and narratives influence players’ connection to games and reflect broader social themes. Through this dialogue, we gained a richer understanding of how thoughtfully crafted games can inspire change and foster empathy, creating a more inclusive gaming culture for everyone.
