Environmental Game Design!

What makes designing an environmental game different from other types of games? Hear from Clayton Whittle - coauthor of the Environmental Game Design and advisor to international game jams - on how you can use principles of transformation, climate psychology, and design tactics to make your environmental games more effective.  Participants will have an activity to help jumpstart the Jam, and we'll have  open discussion time in small groups to meet potential teammates. 

Hey Rafaelos - So glad you're interested in the jam!  We also have a "looking for group" channel on the Discord server (https://discord.gg/jBUcM9ak ) and I'm particularly glad that you're thinking about the sound design because we plan to award Honorable Mention (with prize) for the best original sound/music! 

Hello! Sorry about that! Here's an updated link - https://discord.gg/jBUcM9ak   Let me know if it still doesn't work!

One more thought: if you're interested, we're collecting some resources on environmental games on our Discord server (https://discord.gg/dWagWC3UKy) like the Environmental Games Playbook -- which you might enjoy if you haven't seen already: https://igda.org/resources-archive/environmental-game-design-playbook-presented-...

Looking for ocean-themed inspiration? Have science questions about your marine game idea?  Need a teammate? Join a panel of University of Delaware marine scientists who will talk about what inspires them most, answer your questions, and have open discussion time in small groups to meet potential teammates. 

As part of this Game Jam, we'll have online webinars leading up to the Jam for those who are interested in learning more about oceans and climate science and for those who want a re-fresh or tips on Game Jams & game design.  We'll also have an in-person celebration at the University of Delaware on March 8th. We'll post registration links (free) here as we have dates and times confirmed. 

Hi Kritzlof! So glad you're interested in this jam. This year, we are only awarding prizes for students enrolled in US schools. We hope to expand internationally in the future. So if you want to develop and submit a game to challenge yourself, please do, but you wouldn't be eligible for the prizes this year. I hope we can expand in the future!
