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

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

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
