June Mini Game Jam
2016-06-25 12:00 - 22:30 (Europe/Berlin) | co.up, Adalbertstraße 8, Berlin, 10999, Germany
Time for some game prototyping! Type and draw away, make strange sounds and create fun out of thin air: Welcome to this edition of the Berlin Mini Jam!
Berlin Mini Game Jam is a relaxed 8 hour prototyping workshop: After we have chosen a theme together, we form teams or go solo to make game graphics, concepts and prototypes on computers, phones, cardboard or physical space. At the end, we present the results to each other.
Schedule:
12:00 Doors open (5th floor), write nametags, get to know people
12:20 Vote on themes via vote.berlinminijam.de
12:40 Info speech & theme announcement
13:00 Jam Starts, 3rd floor opens
21:00 End presentations start (3rd floor)
22:00 Socialize & play games
Create whatever you want, just bring any materials you need. There is no hardware or material provided on-site unless specifically mentioned.
Everyone is welcome! Really! Artists, game designers, coders, hobbyists or professionals. Any gender, any background! We always have lots of new people, so don’t worry if you don’t know anybody yet: You’re quite welcome too. If you want to, you will find a team at the jam, so coming alone is no problem.
There is no participation fee thanks to co.up coworking. You can return their kindness by buying some of their 2€ drinks.
We have a Facebook group too, by the way: Berlin Game Developers Meet-Up.

Talk & Play #19
2016-06-28 19:00 - 23:00 | Game Science Center, Besselstrasse 14, Berlin, 10969, Germany
Talk & Play is a free event, taking place every two months, that provides the opportunity to game enthusiasts, players and makers to meet and exchange knowledge in a friendly, relaxed and safe environment.
Everybody’s welcome, regardless of their background and knowledge level: if you like games, we’ll make sure you have a good time! Important: this is NOT an event only aimed at developers.
Important: RSVP via meetup.com is mandatory to attend the talks, due to limited seating capacity. Registrations will open on Tuesday, June 14th at 14:00 CET (Berlin time). Please note that registration won’t be required to attend the event from 21:00 for the game showcase part.

HOW IT WORKS
The event is structured in two parts:
— TALK: A series of short game-related presentations
— PLAY: All participants are welcome to bring games they’ve made or are still working on so that the audience can play them – a perfect opportunity to discover and play new games, collect feedback and, who knows?, maybe find collaborators for future projects.

THE TALKS

Let’s continue with the new format introduced at the beginning of the year: 5 minutes for each presentation, with no questions – if you want to ask a question to the speakers just go talk to them! ;)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Our Safe Space Policy encourages the behaviour at Talk & Play. We request that everyone who is affiliated with and participates to the event honours it.
Besides recording the talks (thank you Iwan!), we’re also documenting the game showcase part in pictures (thank you Julian!) and vines (thank you Nomi!). Documentation is important for us, as it helps promote the event and attract a new, wider and more diverse audience (that’s how it worked so far at least). For those who’d like to attend, but don’t want to be appear in any pictures or videos, we’re going to distribute some neon stickers at the door that you can wear on your chest to make it clear that you don’t want to appear in any picture or video.
The event is free to attend.

FINAL NOTES
Do you have any questions? Would you like to give a talk in the future? Then get in touch!
Talk & Play is organised by BerlinGameScene.com with the promotional and technical support of the monthly Berlin Mini Game Jam and A MAZE.

Exporting one of our great meetups to Berlin.
deutsch und englisch willkommen :)
This will be the second Meetup in Berlin and a good place to start if you are new to our group!
Doors open at 19:00
Around 19:30: official start and short introduction speech
the rest of the evening is up to you; we set up small groups to play board or card games (feel free to bring a game you’d specifically like to play & the venue holds many games also, digital or otherwise) or you just hang out and have conversations and relax.
We would love for everyone to socialise throughout the evening, so the main aim of these games is to get to know the other people at the table!
Don’t worry if you’ve never heard of our games before or if you’re a bit nervous about coming along. We have a team member on hand to welcome you into the group and explain the games as we go along. We’re really looking forward to seeing you at the meetup!
–nochmal auf deutsch–
Nach der kurzen Begrüßungsrede liegt dir die Abendgestaltung frei; entweder schliesst du dich einer kleineren Gruppe an um ein Spiel zu spielen oder tummelst dich einfach mit den anderen Leuten, lernst sie kennen und quatscht z.B. ein bisschen über dieses oder jenes gaming Thema.
Keine Sorge falls du die Spiele nicht kennst oder nicht alle Star Trek Charaktere auswendig kannst oder vielleicht generell etwas nervös bist, ins unbekannte zu stolpern. Wir haben ein Teammitglied, Yasmin, vor Ort um dich Willkommen zu heißen und ggf. Spielregeln zu erläutern. Wir freuen uns einfach auf dein Dasein und hoffen, dass auch du Spaß haben wirst.

Creative Code Stammtisch #33
2016-07-08 19:30 | co.up, Adalbertstraße 8, Berlin, 10999, Germany
The Creative Code Stammtisch is an open conversation between artists, makers, designers, coders, performers, learners and anyone interested in the use of computing skills for artistic expression. The event is free and open to all, regardless of age, origin, gender or experience. Beginners and first-timers should feel especially welcome!
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
There is a time for people to present something if they want to, followed by informal discussions. Every topic is fair game, from net art to computational design and interactive installations all the way to wearable electronics and generative literature… It’s a whole evening packed with fun, inspiration and human connection.
Join us on Friday and see for yourself, ask questions if you want, contribute with your comments and maybe show a project you’re working on. We’re looking forward to meet you all!
Note that this event is NOT just for coders! If you like art and/or technology, you will certainly enjoy yourself, and perhaps even learn something!
A NOTE ON DIVERSITY
Our best meetups have also been the most diverse. This is no coincidence. If each of us took the initiative to invite one female friend to join, everyone involved would benefit. We kindly ask you to pause for a minute and think who that friend could be… seriously, just stop reading and do it! ?
This invitation extends, of course, to members of all groups that are usually underrepresented at art & tech events.

VRDB#05: Free VR coding
2016-07-09 15:00 | Maxim Gorki Theater, Am Festungsgraben 1, Berlin, 10117, Germany
Hi Everyone,
It’s time for another hands-on developing session! Each of us, whether they are already an experienced developer or are just starting out, will be working on their own project, which might be one you are just beginning or are already working on.
Please bring your laptop and any VR equipment you have/need. If you don’t have anything yet, we encourage you to buy a cardboard VR viewer for your phone. This will allow you to try out anything you develop.
We meet at the office of Viorama, the creators of the app Splash, a really cool way to create 360 videos with just your mobile phone (try it out, it’s free!). The office is in the building next to Gorki Theatre. When you enter the building, go right, take the elevator to the second floor, exit the elevator and go straight, then right, past the offices of “Junge Islam Konferenz”, then Viorama’s office will be to your left.
Let’s share the VR developing spirit and give each other tips and feedback!
See you Saturday!
Tore and Carl

Katherine Isbister: How Games Move Us: Emotion by Design
2016-07-14 19:00 - 21:00 | Urban Spree, Revaler Straße 99, Berlin, 10245, Germany
A MAZE. presents in cooperation with BerlinGameScene.com a surprising talk appearance by Katherine Isbister, Professor of Computational Media, and core faculty in the Center for Games and Playable Media at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She was the founding research director of the Game Innovation Lab at NYU, and a founding faculty member of the NYU Game Center. Isbister has written several books about game design, most recently How Games Move Us: Emotion by Design, published by MIT Press.
Isbister’s analysis shows us a new way to think about games, helping us appreciate them as an innovative and powerful medium for doing what film, literature, and other creative media do: helping us to understand ourselves and what it means to be human.
Description copied from https://mitpress.mit.edu/how-games:
This is a renaissance moment for video games—in the variety of genres they represent, and the range of emotional territory they cover. But how do games create emotion? In How Games Move Us, Katherine Isbister takes the reader on a timely and novel exploration of the design techniques that evoke strong emotions for players. She counters arguments that games are creating a generation of isolated, emotionally numb, antisocial loners. Games, Isbister shows us, can actually play a powerful role in creating empathy and other strong, positive emotional experiences; they reveal these qualities over time, through the act of playing. She offers a nuanced, systematic examination of exactly how games can influence emotion and social connection, with examples—drawn from popular, indie, and art games—that unpack the gamer’s experience.
Isbister describes choice and flow, two qualities that distinguish games from other media, and explains how game developers build upon these qualities using avatars, non-player characters, and character customization, in both solo and social play. She shows how designers use physical movement to enhance players’ emotional experience, and examines long-distance networked play. She illustrates the use of these design methods with examples that range from Sony’s Little Big Planet to the much-praised indie game Journey to art games like Brenda Romero’s Train.

Agile Game Lab #15 @TOA Satellite Event

AgileGameLab #15 Tech Open Air Satellite Event: The Lean Startup
This event is part of Tech Open Air festival. Please register at the TOA Satellite Eventbrite page!
To learn more about the TOA festival read here.
This edition of the AgileGameLab has a focus on the Lean Startup. So bring a game to our test drive that you think might help a group to experience the Lean Startup. You have no idea what to bring? Check our links below. Want to learn about the Lean Startup? Just join us and have an evening full of play and learning.
Agile Game Lab is your test drive to play games in business
The Agile Game Lab is a test drive for serious games. This open space is for everyone* to learn about Agile while having fun and playing games, to improve facilitation skills by hosting a game session or to find peers to design a new game. The Agile Game Lab is special since we bring agile people and game developers together to have an evening full of creativity and fun.
Games to solve serious challenges
We are convinced that games and simulations are useful tools to experience agile practices, to communicate complex problems and to learn how to apply agile and lean thinking to solve them. They are also a great way to explore an issue at work, e.g. how to get rid of command and control, improve flow etc. That’s why games are a very important element of the learning environments we create.
Bring a game! No superpowers but an open mind is required!
Don’t be shy and bring your own game idea to find out if it works while playing with peers. Or try out facilitating a game that you are not yet familiar with. Or just join a session and learn from others. We have some basic moderator materials but please bring anything you need to host a session. There are slots of about 50 minutes for each game. If you need more time, you can play two slots in a row.
Feel free to announce with a post what you like to play
You want to get feedback for your game idea? Just post it as a comment in this meetup or on http://agalab.ideascale.com/.

VR Studio PreOpening
2016-07-29 - 2016-07-31 | HTW Berlin Campus Wilhelminenhof, Wilhelminenhofstraße 75A, Berlin, 12459, Germany
Der Studiengang GAME DESIGN öffnet zur diesjährigen WERKSCHAU das neue Virtual Reality Studio an zwei Tagen für die Öffentlichkeit.
FR 29.07.16 15:30 Uhr – 20:00 Uhr
SA 30.07.16 13:00 Uhr – 20:00 Uhr
Auf mehr als 200 qm können zahlreiche in Lehre und Forschung entwickelte Virtual Reality Games gespielt und interaktive Anwendungen exploriert werden. Unter dem Motto „Setz die Brille auf“ sind Interessierte eingeladen, sich ganz real in virtuellen Spielräumen zu bewegen und auf Wunsch sogar einen Blick hinter die Kulissen der Produktion der Computerspiele zu werfen. Auch Unternehmen können sich vor Ort über Kooperationsmöglichkeiten in Sachen VR mit dem GAME CHANGER Forschungsinstitut an der HTW Berlin informieren.
Das neue VR-Studio ist der Auftakt für die langfristige Ausbildung eines Studienschwerpunktes. Susanne Brandhorst, Conceptional Designer und Professorin für Visual Development spricht davon, dass es bei VR um weit mehr geht als eine neue Technik. „Während die monitorbezogenen Computeranwendungen der visuellen Ästhetik des Tafelbildes und des Filmes verbunden bleiben, ist VR eine faszinierend neue Ausdrucksform, welche der Plastik, der Architektur oder dem Theater näher steht. Durch neue Devices wird Dreidimensionalität in der Relation zur eigenen Körperwahrnehmung und Bewegung auch im Computerspiel erfahrbar. Die Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten dieser immateriellen Räume potenzieren dabei erprobte Interaktionen von Bildschirm-Spielen um ein Vielfaches. Wir möchten zur Entwicklung eines Experience Designs für virtuelle Realitäten betragen und investieren in die Ausbildung von 3D-ExpertInnen und VR-DesignerInnen.“
In dem Studio können bis zu 12 Projekte parallel entwickelt und betreut werden. Dabei steht bereits eine Vielzahl an Devices unterschiedlicher Hersteller wie z.B. HTC Vive, Oculus, Samsung und OSVR zur Verfügung. Darüber hinaus können komplexe Aufbauten wie Parcours, Fluggeräte, Fahrzeuge und ähnliches realisiert werden, welche als materielle Schnittstelle in VR-Anwendungen gebraucht werden. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt der Forschung werden VR-Multiplayer-Environments und Fragen der virtuellen Präsenz sein. Mittelfristig ist eine Aufstockung des Equipments sowie der Umzug in größere Räumlichkeiten vorgesehen.
Erste Kooperationen mit der Industrie wie z.B. mit CRYENGINE VRFIRST gibt es bereits, weitere sind in Planung.
Ansprechpartner: Prof. Susanne Brandhorst & Prof. Thomas Bremer
Der Eintritt ist frei.
PreOpening: FR 29.07.2016 um 15:30h in H 006

Wir haben ein Teammitglied, Yasmin, vor Ort um dich Willkommen zu heißen und ggf. Spielregeln zu erläutern. Wir freuen uns einfach auf dein Dasein und hoffen, dass auch du Spaß haben wirst.

LET'S PLAY: »Inside« - live im Kino!
2016-08-19 21:00 | Kino Moviemento, Kottbusser Damm 22, Berlin, 10967, Germany
“THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE MOST AWESOME THING EVER!”
– Kalle Henningsson, QA Manager bei Playdead
Endlich Videospiele auf der großen Leinwand!
Finally! Videogames on the big screen!
LET’S PLAY: »Inside« – BEI UNS IM MOVIEMENTO.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
:::english version below:::english version below::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
::: WAS IST LET’S PLAY?
LET’S PLAY bezeichnet das Vorführen und Kommentieren des Spielens eines Computerspiels. Meist wird dies ähnlich einem Screencast aufgenommen und auf Videoportalen hochgeladen. Dabei steht nicht das Durchspielen eines Spiels im Vordergrund, sondern das individuelle Spielerlebnis des Spielenden.
– wikipedia, geänd.
::: WIESO LET’S PLAY IM KINO?
Computerspiele, die eine einzigartige visuelle und akustische Ästhetik ausstrahlen, haben eine besondere Präsentation und ein breiteres Publikum verdient. Viele Spiele lassen sich u.a. von Filmen inspirieren. Sie können durch die Kombination von moderner Technik und einem spannenden Narrativ herausragende Geschichten erzählen, die denen von vielen Filmen in nichts nachstehen. Deshalb passen sie perfekt in einen Kinosaal, in exzellenter visueller und akustischer Qualität!
::: WIE FUNKTIONIERT LET’S PLAY IM KINO?
Wir spielen Playdeads neues Meisterwerk »INSIDE« in einem richtigen Kinosaal vor einem anwesenden Publikum. Wir werden unser Spielen nicht kommentieren, das Publikum kann dies jedoch gerne tun. Die Spieldauer wird ca. 2,5 Stunden betragen. Geplant ist die gesamte Veranstaltung filmisch zu dokumentieren und dann wiederum als erste Episode der Reihe »LET’S PLAY: IM KINO« auf ein Videoportal zu stellen.
Den Trailer zu »INSIDE« findet ihr den Kommentaren.
Wir sind sehr glücklich darüber, dass Playdead – das Studio, das sich für die Entwicklung von Inside auszeichnet – die Idee großartig findet, und die Veranstaltung voll unterstützt!
:::
LET’S PLAY: »Inside« soll die erste Folge in einer Serie von Veranstaltungen werden, in denen Spiele mit einem besonderen Anspruch im Kino präsentiert werden.
Bei Fragen zum Ablauf oder sonstige Neugier, könnt ihr gerne hier posten oder eine PM an uns schicken.
::: TICKETS
Der Vorverkauf ist demnächst möglich unter www.moviemento.de und direkt bei uns an der Kinokasse.
Preis: 5,00 €
Reservierungen sind möglich unter: 030-40 98 23 63 oder 030-692 47 85

::: WHAT IS LET’S PLAY?
A LET’S PLAY is a series of videos or screenshots, documenting a playthrough of a video game, usually including commentary by the gamer. A LET’S PLAY differs from a walkthrough or strategy guide by focusing on an individual’s subjective experience with the game.
– wikipedia
::: WHY LET’S PLAY AT THE CINEMA?
Some video games inherit a unique visual and acoustic art style. They deserve a special presentation and a wider audience. Many games are inspired by films. And thus, using a combination of modern technology and a gripping narrative succeed in telling outstanding stories that don’t need to hide behind most films. This is why these games fit perfectly in a movie theatre where they can be presented in excellent visual and acoustic quality!
::: HOW DOES LET’S PLAY AT THE CINEMA WORK?
Together with two colleauges we will play and beat live Playdead’s new masterpiece »INSIDE« in a professional movie theatre in front of a present audience. We will not comment our gameplay, but let the images tell the story and let the the audience comment whenever they feel like it. Beating the game will take around 2.5 hours, which is just a perfect timeframe for a cinematic presentation. We are planning to film the whole event and upload the result as the first episode of a »LET’S PLAY: AT THE CINEMA« series.
You can find the trailer of »INSIDE« in the discussion section.
We are very happy and proud that Playdead – the studio that produced »INSIDE« – very much likes the idea of playing their game in a cinema and thus are fully supporting the event!
:::
LET’S PLAY: »Inside« is supposed to be the first episode in a series of events which will showcase special video games in a movie theatre.
If you have any questions or suggestions do not hesitate to post in here or send a PM to us.
::: TICKETS
Tickets will soon be available on www.moviemento.de or at the box office.
Price: 5,00 €
For reservations please call: 030-40 98 23 63 or 030-692 47 85

Talk & Play #20
2016-08-23 19:00 - 23:00 | Game Science Center, Besselstrasse 14, Berlin, 10969, Germany
Talk & Play is a free event, taking place every two months, that provides the opportunity to game enthusiasts, players and makers to meet and exchange knowledge in a friendly, relaxed and safe environment.
Everybody’s welcome, regardless of their background and knowledge level: if you like games, we’ll make sure you have a good time! Important: this is NOT an event only aimed at developers.
Important: RSVP via meetup.com is mandatory to attend the talks, due to limited seating capacity. Registrations will open on Tuesday, August 9th at 14:00 CET (Berlin time). Please note that registration won’t be required to attend the event from 21:00 for the game showcase part.

HOW IT WORKS
The event is structured in two parts:
— TALK: A series of short game-related presentations
— PLAY: All participants are welcome to bring games they’ve made or are still working on so that the audience can play them – a perfect opportunity to discover and play new games, collect feedback and, who knows?, maybe find collaborators for future projects.

THE TALKS

Let’s continue with the new format introduced at the beginning of the year: 5 minutes for each presentation, with no questions – if you want to ask a question to the speakers just go talk to them! ;)

Codecks, a project management tool inspired by collectible card games by Emmanuel Tabarly
Looking for the sweet spot that will make game developers enjoy using project management tools!
—
Emmanuel (Manu) is an old man, but don’t remind him of that. He spent too many years as a project manager in video games, web development and even hard-core industrial projects. The scars run deep. He’s currently developing Codecks with his partner-in-crime Daniel. Most of his free time is devoted to games (with pixels and cardboard), and tabletop miniature painting. That’s what happens when you get old.

Snake in 3 Languages by Lisa (lislis)
What’s a good language to start writing games in? I don’t know, that’s why I wrote the same game in three different languages so you can choose!

Lisa is a frontend developer in the real world and a game enthusiast anywhere else.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Our Safe Space Policy encourages the behaviour at Talk & Play. We request that everyone who is affiliated with and participates to the event honours it.
Besides recording the talks (thank you Iwan!), we’re also documenting the game showcase part in pictures (thank you Julian!) and vines (thank you Nomi!). Documentation is important for us, as it helps promote the event and attract a new, wider and more diverse audience (that’s how it worked so far at least). For those who’d like to attend, but don’t want to be appear in any pictures or videos, we’re going to distribute some neon stickers at the door that you can wear on your chest to make it clear that you don’t want to appear in any picture or video.
The event is free to attend.

FINAL NOTES
Do you have any questions? Would you like to give a talk in the future? Then get in touch!
Talk & Play is organised by BerlinGameScene.com with the promotional and technical support of the monthly Berlin Mini Game Jam and A MAZE.

Unity 3D Workshop (Basic) @ S4G
2016-09-13 - 2016-09-15 | School for Games, Gubener Strasse 47, Berlin, 10243, Germany
Die Unity3D-Engine ist die aktuell angesagteste 3D Engine für Online- und Mobile-Entwicklungen auf dem Markt.
Das liegt vor allem an ihrer Flexibilität, Einfachheit in der Handhabung und der Multiplattform-Ausrichtung
Games oder Programme, die mit Unity3D entwickelt werden, lassen sich mit relativ wenig zeitlichem und technischem Aufwand für Plattformen wie das iPhone, iPad, Mac oder PC sowie direkt für den Webbrowser anpassen.
Das erspart viel Entwicklungsaufwand und Ressourcen, die man komplett in den kreativen Part der Entwicklung stecken kann.
Ein sehr wertvoller Umstand, der diese Engine bei Games Entwicklern, Architekten, Agenturen etc. so beliebt macht.
Wenn Sie von diesem technischen Fortschritt profitieren wollen, empfehlen wir Ihnen den Unity 3D Engine Basic-Workshop der School for Games.
Der Kurs vermittelt Ihnen einen Überblick über die Features und Funktionen der Unity 3D Engine.
Dabei wird der Umgang mit dem Editor an praktischen Beispielen erläutert und ein Einblick in den grundlegenden Workflow der Spieleentwicklung vermittelt.
