Abstract: This study explores how digital game designers perceive and use value-sensitive design (VSD) by employing a case study approach with freshman undergraduates in the Digital Game Design Department. They participated in the 14-week Narrative in Digital Games course and received 3 weeks of training on VSD in the course. We collected data using open-ended questionnaires, participants' narratives, and focus group interviews, and then analyzed the data using content analysis techniques. In the study's findings, the participants explained VSD using concepts such as ethics, personal and social values, human rights, and environmental awareness. According to the results obtained from participants' VSD-based narrative design projects in the study, narrative design has significant potential for integrating many VSD principles into digital games. We expect the study's findings to raise understanding among digital game designers about VSD, thereby contributing to the development of games that embed these values in the digital gaming world.
