Almost time for Regenerate Game Jam 26
Play, watch, and read about The Wandering Village in March. Then join us at the IGDA Climate SIG Discord to share your thoughts on its green game design approach. discord.gg/DW3j5ExD?eve...
Really looking forward to this one!
Kylie Brewer isn't unaccustomed to harassment online. But when people started using Grok-generated nudes of her on an OnlyFans account, it reached another level.
Green Game of the Month π
We are stoked to have Sam as a mentor for the 4th time! Legend!

@atamorimmaia.bsky.social excellent talk today on adaptation success being an opening of possibilities. I especially like the adaptation myopia #af2025
And of course @miriamakamo.bsky.social did an incredible job as MC.
Phenomenal first sessions at the Adaptation Futures Conference. With indigenous people front and centre stage discussing the urgency of bringing science, policy and indigenous knowledge together to implement transformative climate adaptations #af2025
Our investigation reveals how the man who started Tea, the βwomen dating safetyβ app, tried to hire a female βfaceβ for the company and then hijack her grassroots community.

Climate policy is β 95% ending fossil carbon mining and burning, biodiversity policy is β 95% protecting and restoring habitat AND THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING.

Spotted in Brighton #gamedev
Hacking games and gameplay as an alternative to production/consumption @illmare.bsky.social at #gamestransformed
The right is no longer selling utopia Itβs time for the left to βFight an apocalyptic narrative with a non apocalyptic narrativeβ @molleindustria.org looking forward to playing Future No Thanks when it comes out!
A lovely talk by @aeiea.bsky.social covering sustainability initiatives in the game industry, and how Monument Valley taken the leap from a green activation to a full climate themed game. Also included a giant dice and a disagreeable dragon for a little consensus building game. #developbrighton
Iβve been working on this little textile game and can see this approach of incorporating real world crafting being bang on for extra texture and realism in this kind of game nivja.itch.io/textile-arti...
I love this embroidery UI by @shimmerglitch.bsky.social who gave a great talk about incorporating crafts into games. #developbrighton
Game devs by the seaside.. itβs @developconference.com
Thanks Oliver, yes had positive feedback at DiGRA π. Sustainability imaginaries are so limited, definitely there is such an opportunity to expand and explore other narratives in games. Also yes letβs chat, Iβm in the UK until the 13th which is ideal for normal day time chats before I had back to NZ
And in case youβre interested as we share an interest in design/sustainability this is my DiGRA conference paper π dl.digra.org/index.php/dl...
Yes the proceedings are here: dl.digra.org/index.php/dl...
Can games help us adopted a post-humanist sentiment to death? @poppywilde.bsky.social says yup, they can. #DiGRA2025 #spiritfarer
Phenomenal presentation yesterday by @pippinbarr.bsky.social and Rilla Khaled on systematic methods for materialising Research through Design, going past descriptive documentation using reflective practices by regular inquiry using What/so what/now what questions. #Digra2025 #designresearch
A slide from a conference talk titled findings from the first ten years in games industry/production research
Excellent keynote today by @aphrak.bsky.social with hardcore facts - the industry inflates its size/importance, normalises bad practices across employment, harassment, and gambling and all these things spread out way beyond games. #digra2025
@t0mm7.bsky.social domesticating play at playboy. The choice of backgammon might be a random novelty but overall play normalised via playboy into homes, with everything you can imagine being attached to it, is a significant historical context to its meaning/player communities today #digra2025
NEW from me: TikTokers have been using tools like Googleβs Veo 3 to AI-generate racist videos. The videos are garnering millions of views by bringing centuries-old racist tropes to life. Itβs an actual dystopian nightmare!
