Bring Your Own Story And Action Heroes To Life At This Game Creation Workshop
What Is It?
Who Is It For?
The event is for absolute beginners with no prior coding experience or digital art or design background. All you artists, storytellers and gamers are sure to love this workshop.
Why Should I Go For It?
Because this workshop lets you play creator and create something entirely self-conceptualised. Tell a personal story or one you came up through these digital games. A digital artist herself, Lisa Heissenberg will teach you the basics of game creation and help you bring your ideas to a digital gaming format. Breaking away from the usual video game mould, this game creation workshop navigates around patterns and themes like straight male power fantasies, shock for shock’s sake, and conflicts only to be addressed through violence to create a new form of gaming with a focus on feminism and social justice. One of a kind, workshops like these don’t come by often, so sign yourself up for this one right away.
