SUMMARY:IGDA Webinar: Nom Nom Data
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nNOVEMBER 17\, 2022  |  11 am Central Time \nIs your game’s data architecture in good health? You might be surprised by what you find. \nRefactoring code to manage sessions\, event structures\, and changing the way calls are made will cost you release cycles and significant data loss. In this webinar\, we’ll cover three topics to help you avoid these issues: (1) million dollar mistakes to avoid when storing data for your games; (2) tips and tricks seasoned gaming companies employ to become 10x more efficient; and (3) core infrastructure components you should implement before hiring your analytics and data teams. \nIf you can build games with a data architecture plan from the start\, you will save time\, money\, and headaches. Everyone on your team from data analyst to executive will thank you for making their job a little easier. \nRegister Here \n\n \nAbout the Speaker: \nNam Nguyen is the Founder of Nom Nom Data. He has had decades of experience working as a data analyst\, data architect\, data engineer\, database administrator\, and back-end software developer across various industries. \nBy combining best of breed strategies across all types of data and various industries he has developed a framework for building data warehouses and managing data. The framework allows companies like SciPlay\, Ink Games\, and Clover to manage their data at a scale\, cost\, and efficiency they didn’t think possible. \n*This is a sponsored webinar brought to you by IGDA.

SUMMARY:Leveraging Text to Speech as a Game Dev - Clash of the Use Cases
DESCRIPTION:Register for the webinar here.\nEvent Details\nA friendly contest? Why yes! In this IGDA webinar\, three game devs will champion their use case of text to speech (TTS) in their games.\nNamely: Accessibility\, Character Voices\, and Prototyping. \nA refresher: text to speech is what it says in the name\, you write or generate a piece of text\, and almost magically\, with voice technology it synthesizes it into speech.\nA good example of that is (smart) voice assistants that roam the tech space today or some of your favorite streamers that use TTS to voice-enable chat messages i.e. when receiving donations. \nWith dynamic runtime TTS embedded in a game project\, game devs can harness that power of voice in their games and utilize it in many creative ways. \nLearn more from Jamin\, Cari\, and Conor about how they used this dynamic solution to elevate their games and processes. \n*This is webinar brought to you by IGDA in partnership with ReadSpeaker. \n  \n\nAbout the Speakers\n\nJamin Smith \nJamin Smith is the Director and Lead Designer at Superstring; a London-based game studio looking to explore new game-hybrids and abuse the boundaries of genre. The studio’s latest release\, Acolyte\, fuses natural-language dialogue with a deep detective narrative and innovative ARG features. Across nearly two-decades in the games industry\, Jamin has worked for the likes of SEGA\, Born Ready Games\, Edge Case Games and Square Enix. \n  \n \nCari Erica Watterton \nCari is the Senior Accessibility Designer at Rebellion with a background in UX and a passion for creating games for everyone\, with intuitive experiences and player-centered design at the core. She is a BAFTA Games nominee\, two-time DARE finalist and Abertay University Alumni. Outside of work she makes TTRPG dice\, has an unhealthy amount of board games and a black cat called Toothless. \n  \n \nConor Bradley\n\nConor Bradley is the founder and director of Soft Leaf Studios\, an indie game development studio based in Belfast\, Northern Ireland. Soft Leaf Studios strive to make disability-friendly game experiences by working closely with people who are blind\, deaf\, and those with other physical and mental disabilities. Their goal is to remove barriers from the games they make and to push the boundaries of what is considered possible in making games accessible. Currently\, they are developing an accessible point-and-click adventure called Stories of Blossom\, expected to release Spring of next year on Windows PC\, and Xbox Series X|S.
