Game Innovation Database

Game Innovation n. The introduction of a new experience in a video game.

The goal of the GIDb is to classify and record every innovation in the entire history of computer and video games and their relationship to one another . It's our belief that innovations build off one another and we plan to show these "builds upon" relationships by constructing a living network or 'tree' of game innovations. We plan to continually expand our innovation database network by help from academic partners willing to contribute to this project. We hope this database benefits everyone who cares about the history, study, and practice of game innovation.
