research applied to the development of video games in the industry. Four 
non-exclusive categories are proposed to cover the fields of video game 
research in Latin America:

  * Video Games and Ludonarrative: This category includes works on video
    games as a narrative medium, as well as manifestations of
    performative language and aesthetic expression.

    explore the social impact of video games, the ways in which video
    games are appropriated, and video games as cultural productions.
  * Video Games and Industry: This category focuses on the game
    development experience, applied methods, production processes, and
    research applied to the development of the independent industry.
  * Serious Games: This fourth category focuses on studies on video
    games and game development applied to fields such as education,
    mental health, epistemology, and human rights, among others.
