SUMMARY:Play for Real 2015
DESCRIPTION:Game Seminar \nhttp://www.dfi.dk/Branche_og_stoette/Creative-Europe-Desk/Aktiviteter/Play-for-Real/Programme.aspx \n\nPLAY FOR REAL \nGames are getting real. Games are often considered – and can well be – lighthearted entertainment happily detached from our everyday life. But as games grow as a medium for all and with more diverse developers behind them\, games also starts to reflect a wider variety of emotions and start serving new purposes. We see games dealing with the emotional complex of bullying or growing up with alcoholism. We see self-reflecting games made by developers who have to deal with a child with cancer or with personal depression. We see games that not only try to teach us about refugees or other people in need\, but also use games to put the player in their shoes and see the dilemmas from new angles. Games that not only engage the player but also engage in the world around them. \n\n\n\n\n09:00- \n09:30 \n\n\nRegistration – coffee and croissant \n\n\n\n\n09:30- \n09:50 \n\n\nWelcome And Introduction to PLAY FOR REAL \nby organizers: Ene Katrine Rasmussen\, Simon Løvind\, and Kristine Ploug \n\n\n\n\n09:50- \n10:40 \n\n\nPrecision of Emotion: A New Kind of “Fun” Approach \nErin Hoffman \n\n\n\n\n10:40- \n11:10 \n\n\nGames With an Agenda – Are You Focused on The Goal or The Tool? \nAsta Wellejus and Hans Skovfoged \n\n\n\n\n11:10- \n11:30 \n\n\nBreak – coffee \n\n\n\n\n11:30- \n12:20 \n\n\nThe Fine Art of Creating Educational Delicacies in Video Games \nHenrike Lode \n\n\n\n\n12:20- \n13:10 \n\n\nLunch and coffee \n\n\n\n\n13:10- \n13:40 \n\n\nJournalism As an Interactive Challenge \nMikkel Rasch Nielsen \n\n\n\n\n13:40- \n14:10 \n\n\nMorality in Games \nLea Schönfelder \n\n\n\n\n14:10- \n14:40 \n\n\nBreak – coffee and cake \n\n\n\n\n14:40- \n15:30 \n\n\nThe Challenge of Creating Meaningful Experiences in Games \nVander Caballero \n\n\n\n\n15:30- \n16:10 \n\n\nGame journalist Jesper Krogh Kristiansen interviews Vander Caballero\, \nLea Schönfelder\, and Erin Hoffman \n\n\n\n\n16:10 \n\n\nRefreshments and mingling

SUMMARY:Indie Pendant Games Gathering #8
DESCRIPTION:From the FB Event page: \n\nIn this 8th edition of the Indie Pendant Games Gathering the formula remains largely the same. Two speakers\, four games\, and room filled with people passionate about the medium of games and its industry. \nSpeakers: \n– Rene Derks \nRene is a lecturer at NHTV versed in the area of Design & Production. With considerable experience under his belt at Vanguard Games as both a Designer and a Producer\, he has worked on titles such as Loco Roco 2\, Greed Corp\, Gatling Gears\, and more on a diverse range of platforms. Considering the experience and knowledge Rene has accumulated over these years this Indie Pendant will surely turn out to be another great one. \nAlso\, there will be pictures in his presentation. 🙂 \n– Aïda de Ridder \nCurrently the Art Director at Wispfire\, Aïda is living the indie adventure with her studio’s upcoming interactive period drama Herald. She is mostly specialised in hand drawn 2D art but isn’t shy of working in 3D to bring her work to life. As one of the few game artists that graces the stage at the Indie Pendant\, she will undoubtedly provide us with insights in her ways and methods when it comes to creating game art. \nGames: \n\nBublaFisk – Sita Vriend\nFragments of Him (tentative) – Sassybot Studio\nRising Tides – Sander Hoogervorst\nKABOUNCE! – Bart van Kuijk & Tim Baijens\n\nSend submissions for talks and games to IPGGteam@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Now Play This 2015
DESCRIPTION:A Weekend of Games and Play. \nFrom the website: \nThe underlying idea is that this is about games in whatever form: board games\, digital games\, pervasive games\, playable sculptures\, objects you poke at\, guided walks that were secretly games all along. \nTalks Line-Up \nGames and Poetry on Wednesday 2 September\, 7pm-8:30. We look at the intersection of games and poetry\, with practitioners from both fields sharing their perspective. Includes readings of game poems (experimental work somewhere between game and poem)\, talks from Hannah Nicklin and Tom Betts\, and a performance from Ross Sutherland. \nGames and Intimacy on Friday 4 September\, 7pm-8:30. Three game designers and writers talk about games and intimacy – from games they’ve loved to games they’ve made\, from personal experiences to a wider examination of games that explore connections between people. Talks from Emily Short (Galatea\, Blood & Laurels)\, Meg Jayanth (80 Days\, Samsara) and Merritt Kopas (Forest Ambassador\, Minkomora). \nCall for Games (closed): http://mathesonmarcault.com/index.php/2015/07/16/now-play-this/ \nTickets: http://www.somersethouse.org.uk/book-tickets/3f574966-e1d3-4cbb-bcab-815253ad9d3d \n
