SUMMARY:Game Design & Disability at PlayBern
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 26th February 2022\, 2-5pm Central European Time (CET) \nSome 15% of the world’s population identifies as disabled. Discourse around disability usually approaches the topic from a medical standpoint\, as something to be treated and fixed. Consequently\, the Game Design & Disability workshop—conducted by designer and theorist Chris Solarski—aims to explore disability in games from an aesthetics standpoint with the understanding that we are all people\, only with different sensory perceptions. The 3-hour event wishes to raise awareness of these multiple realities by engaging in speculative design by reimagining our favourite games with avatars that have some form of disability. In doing so\, designers are encouraged to experience and embody new sensory forms to heighten empathy and extend the aesthetic scope of games by examining how a game’s design must change to accommodate various disabilities. \nThis is a free guided workshop during which Chris Solarski will outline sensory game design concepts and set pen-and-paper challenges for each participant. Minimum required materials include only grid paper (ideally) or A4 paper and a pen/pencil. All game design and UX levels welcome\, from complete beginner to advanced. \nThe PlayBern Festival for Games and Creativity organises events around game art\, indie games\, game design\, and accessibility as well as philosophical and educational questions surrounding games and game culture. Please visit www.playbern.ch for more information. The Game Design & Disability workshop is kindly sponsored by the Swiss Arts Council\, Pro Helvetia\, and hosted by IGDA Switzerland on behalf of PlayBern. \n \n\nRegister today!

SUMMARY:SketchClub Online
DESCRIPTION:The IGDA Game Art SIG warmly invites you to SketchClub Online—a FREE (roughly) bi-weekly event kindly sponsored by SAE Institute Zurich and hosted by author and designer Chris Solarski with the purpose of exploring traditional and contemporary approaches to figure sketching and character design. Attendees are encouraged to participate in artistic challenges prescribed for each each session\, for which Chris is on hand to offer advice and support.

SUMMARY:devcom Call for Change Summit
DESCRIPTION:The global games industry has become an economic behemoth that keeps on growing. This growth\, however\, also results in an unavoidable ecological footprint that can neither be denied nor ignored and that demands accountability. \n  \nGames as a Messenger \nIt is refreshing to see more and more developers use the potential of games to tackle serious topics and spread important messages – in a playful yet impactful way. We will take a stroll through the wonderful world of gaming and look at titles that deal with issues such as climate change and environmental protection. \n  \nDeveloping an eco-friendly Industry \nThe games industry is the sixth largest industry worldwide and the question of its sustainability is legitimate. \nWhile ‘Green Gaming’ has begun to raise awareness\, thereby gaining increasing traction over the past few years\, the industry as a whole – and that definitely includes the players – still has a long way to go. \n  \nJoin the devcom Call for Change Summit #1\, 2022 to learn more about the industry’s impact on the environment and climate change\, about how to reduce your studio’s carbon footprint\, as well as a variety of eco-initiatives\, and learn from fellow industry representatives about what you can do to do your part. \nRegister Now!

SUMMARY:Game Design Challenge
DESCRIPTION:CREATE YOUR OWN VIDEO GAME FOR A CHANCE TO WIN $500!\n\nThe “Games for All” Game Design Challenge empowers K-12 students to create their own video game through a collaborative\, creative and critical thinking journey. IGDA and Legends of Learning are proud to host the Spring ’22 Game Design Challenge! \nThe theme for the Spring ’22 Game Design Challenge is Games For All\nThe goal of this theme is for all participants to create a video game that cultivates inclusion among players in a collaborative way. Dell\, along with Legends of Learning and IGDA\, firmly believes in equity within our communities\, and that technology (including video games!) is a way to bridge the gaps between people of different genders\, cultures\, orientations\, socioeconomic statuses and abilities. \n  \n\nAbout this event\n\n\nThe “Games for All” Game Design Challenge launches on 4 April\, 2022. Epic Games invites all 6th through 12th grade participating teachers to a pre-launch presentation on Building Player to Creator Pathways with Interactive 3D. \nUsing sandbox games like Fortnite Creative in the classroom allows educators to meet students where they are and allows students to leverage their in-game skills to express knowledge with in-game graphics and tools. Fortnite Creative tools are simple and intuitive\, and use the same controls that millions of student-players already know. Many of these in-game controls are skills that are transferable to industry-standard tools such as Twinmotion and Unreal Engine. Participants will be introduced to interactive 3D and real-time technology across various industries\, including advertising\, game development\, architecture\, engineering\, automotive\, film\, and entertainment. Findings from a recent Burning Glass report on the growing demand for real-time 3D skills and how we prepare students and the future workforce for jobs in an immersive world. \nTeaching resources for Fortnite Creative\, Twinmotion\, and Unreal Engine will be shared. Participants will leave with an understanding of the suite of Epic Games’ 3D interactive resources and the potential they have to prepare students for real-world skills using industry-standard tools. \nAll sessions will be taking place on Twitch\, a live-streaming service used frequently in the gaming community. All sessions will take place using the same link (provided post-registration)\, but in order to engage in chat\, you will need to sign up for an account in advance. To learn more\, visit twitch.tv. \nThe recording will be available on YouTube on 30 March. \nSubmit your questions and Register today!

SUMMARY:Towards Anti-Racist Game Development in Europe
DESCRIPTION:About the workshop series\nMany game studios in Europe and around the world are increasingly invested in diversity and inclusion as part of their mission to create a positive working environment. \nHowever\, when it comes to anti-racism\, the active confrontation of racist structures and biases\, terms like “diversity” and “inclusion” are often not enough to tackle these problems. Even progressive game developers might struggle to: \n\n understand what racial bias is and how it may affect their work\nconstructively confront racism in their day-to-day creative practice\n\nTowards Anti-Racist Game Development in Europe is a free online workshop series which supports Europe-based professionals in the games industry to get started on their anti-racist journeys.

SUMMARY:Game Design Challenge - Closing Ceremony Presentation
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us for the Closing Ceremony of the “Games for All” Game Design Challenge! The Game Design Challenge empowered K-12 students to create their own video game through a collaborative\, creative and critical thinking journey. \nThe virtual experience consisted of four lessons and five presentations to empower students on their game design journey. The goal of the theme was for all participants to create a video game that cultivates inclusion among players in a collaborative way. Dell\, along with Legends of Learning and IGDA\, firmly believes in equity within our communities\, and that technology (including video games!) is a way to bridge the gaps between people of different genders\, cultures\, orientations\, socioeconomic statuses\, and abilities. \nAll sessions will be taking place on Twitch\, a live-streaming service used frequently in the gaming community. All sessions will take place using the same link (provided post-registration)\, but in order to engage in chat\, you will need to sign up for an account in advance. To learn more\, visit twitch.tv. \nThe recording will be available on YouTube on 13 May. \nRegister Today!
