Time for some game prototyping! Type and draw away, make strange sounds and create fun out of thin air: Welcome to this month’s edition of the Berlin Mini Jam!
Berlin Mini Game Jam is a relaxed 8 hour prototyping jam: 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.
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 event space . You can return their kindness by buying some of their 2€ drinks!
(And if you have been attending the Mini Jam for a while and you want to show your appreciation, consider giving some support to the Co Up event space, which has been our home across the years. Details at: co-up.de/support-us.html)

Es ist Zeit für einen Game Creators Hangout !
Der Game Creators Hangout ist ein Ort, an dem sich Spieleschaffende treffen, um über Spiele, das Leben und das Universum zu sinieren.
Bisher nur über Facebook organisiert, haben wir auch endlich den Weg auf meetup gefunden. Eingeladen ist jeder, der sich mit Spielen und Spieleentwicklung auseinandersetzt oder auseinandersetzen will.
Da das Meltdown Berlin leider geschlossen hat wechselt der Veranstaltungsort jeden Monat.
Der Hangout wird vom Gamestorm Berlin ( http://www.gamestormberlin.de ) und dem Mini Jam Berlin koorganisiert.

As the Meltdown has unfortunately closed, the venue changes every month for now.
The Hangout is a co-organization between the Gamestorm Berlin ( http://www.gamestormberlin.de ) and the Berlin Mini-Jam

THE TALKS
For this edition we’ll have 5 talks, 5 minutes each:
— Em Lazer-Walker: Running a live battle royale game with a team of 2?!
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.
https://lazerwalker.com // @lazerwalker
— 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.
https://www.instagram.com/freja_alexandra // https://artbymarek.com // @artbymarek
— 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.
https://sites.google.com/view/marenbrede/home
— 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.

Welche Rolle können wir in der Demokratie spielen? Entwickle mit uns neue Games für die politische Bildung!
Zu diesem Event
Die Stiftung Digitale Spielekultur und die Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung laden Spieleentwicklerinnen und -entwickler sowie Stipendiatinnen und Stipendiaten der Begabtenförderung ein, kreative und spannende Lösungen für die politische Bildung in einem 48-stündigen Democracy Jam zu finden. Ziel ist die Entwicklung von Spielideen, Konzepten und spielbaren Prototypen zur Stärkung von Demokratie und politischer Teilhabe durch, von und für junge Erwachsene.
Interaktivität und Motivation ermöglichen das Erlebnis von Selbstwirksamkeit, also die Erfahrung, dass man selbst etwas bewegen kann. Erkennen Menschen, dass sie eine Rolle spielen – im Spiel wie auch im politischen Prozess der repräsentativen Demokratie – ist damit ein echter Mehrwert für unsere Demokratie geschaffen.
Wann?

Socially-oriented art practices and activism often desire to enact change in the world but usually fall short of actualizing their experimental models in the real world. What they lack is some way of mapping onto the world in which we live and, consequently, enacting the type of change they purport to seek. But this need not be the case. In two talks and a discussion, artist and larp designer Susan Ploetz along with researcher Nick Houde will present two different angles on social practices that hope to move beyond representation and into the form of actionable models that demonstratively alter the social and political circumstances of our world.
Susan Ploetz’s talk will look at how play, games, and the purposeful design or construction of social interactions can lead to successful social and political change through the lens of what philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre once referred to as “Fused Groups.” By focusing on such movements as the neo-anarchist Provo Movement in the 60’s and the emergent Larpers of the World, she will explore how such activities can form a baseline of participants who can embody and facilitate decentralized collective action of people ready and willing to exercise their agency, flexible federations that can mobilize institutional power, and perhaps even people who form civic groups in the face of state and other superstructural collapse.
Nick Houde’s talk outlines a new research project prototyping models for vertically integrated labor unions. These are labor unions that organize workers down a globalized supply chain, connecting workers across factories, logistics operations, national borders, and firms to foment collective bargaining power that is more amenable to the production model of the 21st century. The outline will attempt to sketch out the basic technological and legal infrastructures that would make them implentable.
Susan Ploetz is an artist-researcher working at the junction of embodiement, theory, technos, and politics. Upcoming projects include Senses of Security as a part of the Uncertainty Seminars at Stroom den Haag, and larping with humans and soft robotics as a part of The Shape of Things to Come: Technology, AI and the Human, at Aoyama Gakuin University in Tokyo, Japan.
Nick Houde is a researcher, writer, and musician based in Berlin. For the last three years he has worked as a research fellow and co-curator at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) for the Technosphere Project and the Anthropocene Curriculum. His research and writing focuses epistemology and mechanistic forms of reasoning around social value and governance. Musically, he performs under the moniker of Soft Steps.
