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:Global Game Jam 2021 – on Discord!
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Discord for an all-virtual version of Global Game Jam! \nThe Global Game Jam® (GGJ) is the world’s largest game jam (game creation) event taking place around the world at physical locations. Think of it as a hackathon focused on game development. It is the growth of an idea that in today’s heavily connected world\, we could come together\, be creative\, share experiences and express ourselves in a multitude of ways using video games– it is very universal. The weekend stirs a global creative buzz in games\, while at the same time exploring the process of development\, be it programming\, iterative design\, narrative exploration or artistic expression. It is all condensed into a 48 hour development cycle. The GGJ encourages people with all kinds of backgrounds to participate and contribute to this global spread of game development and creativity. \nNo programming knowledge is required to participate. You can contribute to a team in other ways such as by creating art\, music\, or story. Follow the instructions here to register or volunteer: https://bit.ly/albanyggj21

SUMMARY:IGDA Philly September Meeting: An Evening with Steve Mazzeo
DESCRIPTION:Harold Ramis was right. There’s definitely a very slim chance we’ll survive…or die \nThe randomness we encounter games shapes the ludological stories we tell around those games. Yes\, there are a lot of factors but the amount and type of randomness designers include in the game most often is the reason we’re telling a story of amazing triumph or abysmal woe. The rules often shove the results of randomness in our face. Then we contemplate what could have happened if the RNG went our way\, or we pulled that card\, or we rolled just a little better. The good stories aren’t about blame or whining\, they’re about the classical idea of the gods nudging a die or moving a card to the top of the deck for one player or another. \nPre-reg for the event here: https://drexel.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_PTFp8jWSQrSMV9OHZoWCPg
