I was at Northwestern University speaking about Games and Gamification in the Classroom as part of the TEACHxpert Series and I also have been busy with my various classes and event planning.
To note, I'd like to inform you of the planned activities for the IGDA Game Design SIG (GDSIG) at the 2018 Game Developers Conference (GDC) next month.
We will be holding the following roundtable open to All Pass Holders, including the Expo Pass:
Professional Ethics for Game Designers Roundtable (Presented by the IGDA)
Location: Room 105, Moscone South Hall
Date: Wednesday, March 21
Time: 5:00pm - 6:00pm
With gaming disorder a mental health concern, do game designers have an
obligation to refrain what would be considered 'exploitative design,'
that is, game design that takes advantage of player addictions and/or
mental defects? Join game designers and other professionals in
determining what are our main areas of ethical concern and in voicing an
opinion as to whether or not game designers need a professional code of
ethics much like the Hippocratic oath for doctors.
If you cannot make the roundtable, you can join us for our GDSIG Social MeetUp/Dinner where we will meeting outside Room 105 to go for a quick dinner. If you cannot meet in the conference area, please make arrangements with me to meet in the lobby of Moscone South. We also hope to have our special GDSIG GDC ribbons distributed at this time (*quantities limited to 200) and I also usually have the MIT name badges for MIT gamealums.
Location: Outside Room 105, Moscone South Hall, or Moscone South Lobby (If arranged)
Date: Wednesday, March 21
Time: 6:00pm - 7:00pm
Plus, don't forget the other IGDA events at GDC. There will be the IGDA Networking Event in addition to the Mentor Cafes. If you're not yet a IGDA member, there is a special promotion running until March 25, 2018. It is 25% discount on all individual IGDA memberships. To sign up or look at IGDA member benefits, go here.
