Exploring the perspectives of people other than your own can lead to innovative concepts. But who are we as designers to present a subject that is not directly linked to our own experiences? Through case studies, Roy and Sherida will show how you can make a game centered on topics outside of your own background in a respectful manner. They will talk about how this not only made them better designers, but also taught them something very valuable about themselves in the process. The takeaway: a personal method to designing new and innovative — but authentic and relevant — stories and concepts, while also learning more about yourself. People from all disciplines are welcome.
