SUMMARY:IGDA LA Indie Spotlight: Crispy Creative with Kylan Coats
DESCRIPTION:Kylan Coats is going to share his experience starting Crispy Creative and working on “A Long Journey to an Uncertain End”! \n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nKyan Coats is going to speak about his experience launching an indie studio and working on their debut title “A Long Journey to an Uncertain End”\, a game focused on bringing to life stories about diverse crew members and overcoming trauma. He’ll share his perspective on taking the leap to start the studio\, recruiting the crew\, running a Kickstarter\, their long term goals\, and the game itself. \nA Long Journey to an Uncertain End is a narrative focused Space Opera that’ll have you flying around the universe assembling an unruly crew from an eclectic cast of characters and taking any job you can to keep one step ahead of your abusive Ex. The twist: you’re not just piloting a ship… you are the ship. \nCrispy’s About Us: \nBased in Los Angeles\, Crispy is a fully remote indie studio made up of former Obsidian Entertainment and Telltale Games developers. The studio was founded to craft excellent games and experiences\, as well as take creative risks other studios may shy away from. All the while enforcing a healthy work/life balance without crunch. Starting with their first title\, A Long Journey to an Uncertain End\, their games are meant to be radically inclusive\, not only in the stories told or the characters brought to life\, but with the people telling those stories. Respecting the player’s time and a desire to not only entertain\, but inform and enrich\, are further key studio goals with every project. \nKylan Coats: \nWith 14+ years in the games industry\, Kylan has worked on both the developer and publisher side at large AAA studios to small indies. He’s spoken at SXSW\, MIGS\, and White Nights\, as well as been featured in Wired and Polygon. Past titles include the Outer Worlds\, Kena: Bridge of Spirits\, and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. He’s now the creative director of the indie studio\, Crispy Creative\, where they’re releasing their first title\, the space opera adventure A Long Journey to an Uncertain End.

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. Although the SketchClub can also be used as an informal online meet-up where participants are free to work on personal projects while discussing all character\, art-design and career-related topics. All skill levels are welcome\, from complete beginners to advanced\, and there are no restrictions on which media is used (i.e. pencil/paper\, Photoshop\, Procreate\, etc.). SketchClub has a “drop-in” format\, so participants needn’t attend every session and can arrive late/leave early—ideally with minimum disturbance to the group. \nThe SketchClub occurs roughly every second Friday\, and these are the confirmed dates so far (5:30 – 8:30 pm Central European Time). A Zoom link is published in the ‘upcoming_events’ channel of the IGDA Game Art SIG’s Discord server on the day of each event. We look forward to seeing you!

SUMMARY:Develop:Brighton 2022
DESCRIPTION:Develop:Brighton is the only event in the UK that brings the entire game-making industry together – from global superstars to micro indies\, to learn from each other\, share ideas and experiences\, network and do business in a friendly and inclusive environment. And we’ve been doing it since 2006. \nWe’ve been listening to our community and this year part of the key focus of the conference programme will be on practical take-away and more vocational content to offer you the chance to “skill-up” to do what you do even better. \nThe conference programme will reflect what you’ve told us are the hot topics for game makers in 2022 – like  monetisation\, funding\, discoverabilty\, ethical working practices and the Metaverse. We’ll be offering more deep-dives into successful games and studios\, more case studies\, less general interest talks\, more technical problem-solving talks and more best practice take-away. \nWe will continue to offer inspirational talks with some of the best game makers in the world\, plus more entry-level sessions in the Indie Bootcamp which is free to attend just like our Roundtable discussions. \nWe look forward to seeing you from 12 – 14 July 2022\, Hilton Brighton Metropole\, Brighton BN1 2FU! \nIGDA members save 10% on registration by using the code here.
