LUDUS promotes interdisciplinary dialogue in game research, bridging game design theory and practice, and exploring innovative applications of games in technology, art, and culture. The journal's research scope covers game studies (theory and criticism, cultural and social impact, history and narrative), game design (mechanics, level design, user experience), game technology (engine development, graphics, AI, VR/AR), game art (visual and audio design, art games, aesthetics), and serious games (education, health, training, social impact).
