Vedant Sansare is a game designer, academic, and researcher in the School of Art and Design. His work focuses on how games design moral scenarios through play, and the ways players approach these dilemmas. His research looks at how the parts of a game i.e. the rules and systems as well as the narrative beats, work together to develop morally complex scenarios.
