GAME ON: Arbeitest du noch oder spielst du schon?
2018-11-07 17:00 - 22:00 (Europe/Berlin) | Vollgutlager Berlin, Rollbergstr. 26, Berlin, 12053, Germany
Berlin ist die Heimat der deutschen Gaming-Szene. Das umfasst Start-Ups, Agenturen, Hersteller und viele Kreative. Aber auch der Mittelstand kann von dem spielerischen Denken lernen. Wichtige Stichworte sind an der Stelle Gamification und Serious Games, Englisch für „ernsthafte Spiele“. Letztere vermitteln Inhalte auf kreative und spielerische Art und Weise. Für viele Unternehmen steckt hier ein enormes Potential – ob für den Personal-, Marketing- und Verkaufsbereich oder beim Wissens- und Datenmanagement. Wir zeigen Ihnen konkrete Beispiele, wie das im Mittelstand aussehen kann.
Freuen Sie sich auf einen kreativen Abend voller Spiele, Inspiration und Informationen rund um Gamification und die Digitalisierung im Mittelstand. Der Bundesminister für Wirtschaft und Energie Peter Altmaier wird die Veranstaltung eröffnen.
Top-Speaker Philipp Reinartz von Pfeffermind Consulting GmbH veranschaulicht in einer interaktiven Keynote, wie kleine und mittlere Unternehmen von Gamification und Serious Games profitieren können.
Im Anschluss können Sie an neun spielbaren Stationen digitale Lösungen für Unternehmen live erleben.
Wir laden Sie abschließend herzlich zu einem gemeinsamen Get-together mit Buffet und Getränken ein.

THE TALK

“Dress up ↑ Pants down ↓: ramblings of a pro dress up gamer” by Tyu Orphinae
Dress up games are a genre traditionally associated with girls games, and the stereotypes and first impressions that come with them: flashy, cheap, not really deserving of any attention. But guess what other games offer to choose between different hairstyles, makeup options, clothes and accessories? Skyrim. Mass Effect. Dark Souls. Even Rocket League or WWE wrestling games!
So let’s explore together the wonderful world of dress up games and how they’ve found their place among very different audiences, from your regular AAA title to the not so known indie dress up makers, without forgetting of course… sex games.
We’ll also look at what makes a good dress up game, why they’re valuable entry points for people to get interested in gaming and game development, and why, as developers, we should give them just a tiny bit more of attention.
Warning: the talk will feature content which some people may find disturbing.
—
Tyu Orphinae is a 2D/3D game artist and indie developer. Her interests are split between two extremes, from the cutesy world of magical girls and kids games, to the darker dimension of witchcraft and horror movies. She uses both as inspiration for her work, as a contractor and in her own projects. She is also an active member of the French collective Klondike.

Flappy Royale is Flappy Bird reimagined as a 100-player battle royale. We’ll talk about how we designed a massively multiplayer online game requiring no server upkeep, and how the game is secretly an act of guerilla game history preservation.

— Freja Alexandra Knudsen & Marek Plichta: Socks & Sandals
The day we dressed up as silly looking German tourist and went to fancy galleries in our hometown Berlin. A game about performing and embarrassing yourself in the real world.

— Maren Brede: Surrounded by introverts — Tales of a role-playing (mis)fit
What I observed during two campaigns of DnD and learned about myself and games.

— Marishka Zachariah: How Building Virtual Worlds Helped me Explore and Define my Mental Health and Queerness
In this talk, Marishka explores their design structure on how building virtual worlds based on their personal experiences helped address topics surrounding their queerness and anxiety. They will also discuss various ways they design within limitations, especially in regards to physical space, and prioritizing evoking the feeling of a space and situation, rather than simply mapping out the exact space itself.
@cladinrad
After the talks, we’ll have some “pitching” sessions, during which a selection of game makers will briefly present their projects, that you’ll be able to play in the second part of the evening.
As usual, there will also be a section dedicated to short announcements from the community – get in touch to reserve a spot: http://berlingamescene.com/contact/

THE TALKS
— Nadezda Kuzmina: Fonts in video games
Games are a very special environment if we speak about typefaces. Whenever fonts are mentioned we usually think about web typography or print design. Seldom video games are part of this discussion, despite it offering many new facets and own special challenges. Nadya delved deep into this subject during her own pixel font project and will offer some of her experiences in her talk, outlining her development and design process.

Femisphere LVL 6
2020-01-26 14:00 - 19:00 | KulturKantine Berlin, Saarbrücker Str. 24, Berlin, Berlin, 10405, Germany
Welcome to Femisphere, an event where we highlight and celebrate diversity in the games industry!
Femisphere is a place to come together, share stories and experiences, and celebrate the works of female, transgender, non-binary and LGBTQ+ game developers.
The idea behind Femisphere is to create a friendly and inclusive space for female, non-binary, transgender and LGBTQ+ folks, and provide a safe space where you can give talks and show projects you wouldn’t feel comfortable presenting at other games events.
This is not an event where we lament over the current state of the industry, but where we come together to share, inspire and connect.
This is a free event! Nobody is excluded, everyone is welcome to attend and have a good time.
Femisphere is aimed at everyone who works in the games industry or intends to. This means this event is not only aimed at designers, artists and programmers, but also at community managers, project managers, students, interns and so on.
If you are a female, non-binary, transgender, LGTBQ+ developer and have a game, art work or a project that you want to show, please get in touch! Student projects are also very welcome! (If you are working in a group, you can of course present your project as well!)
And if you don’t think that you fit the developer description above, but have a game you believe would fit Femisphere, please get in contact with us!
● PROJECT SUBMISSION ●
You want to showcase you project at Femisphere? Simply fill out this form and we will get back to you as soon as possible:

Talk & Play #41 — CANCELLED
2020-03-24 19:00 - 23:00 | Game Science Center, Besselstrasse 14, Berlin, 10969, Germany
Talk & Play #41 has been cancelled!
If you’ve been following the news lately, this announcement won’t be a surprise: we’ve decided to cancel Talk & Play #41 (originally scheduled to take place on March 24th, 2020), due to the coronavirus. We believe this is the most sensible thing to do, based on the information currently available — it just doesn’t make sense to put anyone at risk. We plan to resume the event in May, assuming it will be safe to do it then. Make sure to join our Meetup group if you’d like to receive a notification once a new event is announced. Take care!

RSVP via Meetup is mandatory to attend the talks, due to limited seating capacity. Registration won’t be required to attend the event from 21:00 for the game showcase part.

THE SHOWCASE
Would you like to exhibit your game (or game-related project, such as a tool, or book) during the second part of the event? Then fill this form: http://bit.ly/talkandplaygames — places are limited so the sooner you do it, the better.
All types of games (and game-related projects) are welcome, both digital and analog/physical, regardless of the current status (released, unreleased, prototype…) and the people behind it (company, students, hobbyists…).
Registrations will close a week before the event, or earlier if there are no more spots left. We can usually show around 20 projects, and we have a smaller separate room that works well for VR.
We can provide tables, chairs, power strips and internet connection — that means that all the rest (devices, chargers, controllers…) are up to you. If your project has sound, we recommend bringing a pair of headphones for the attendees to use, as the room gets quite noisy.

Half-Earth Socialism is a planetary crisis planning game that allows anyone to try their hand as a global planner of a future society. Consider it a sandbox where you can play with a wide range of technologies and policies spanning different fields and ideologies.

This game, which is inspired by the book Half-Earth Socialism, is the fruit of the labour of many designers, researchers, and artists. The game design and development was led by Francis Tseng (Jain Family Institute) and Son La Pham (Trust). Concept, Writing and research for the game was made in collaboration with Lucy Chinen, Chiara Di Leone, Drew Pendegrass, Spencer Roberts, Troy Vettese & Arthur Röing Baer.
