    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.
