The Jennifer Ann Group's annual game design challenge -- aimed at promoting awareness of teen violence through gameplay -- has
announced the winners for its 2013 competition.
The
Life.Love. Game Design Challenge calls upon developers to create a game for iOS, Android or HTML5 which educated players about teen violence and abuse, but without using violence within the game itself.
