Video games are a unique medium. Players assume roles, interact with worlds, and experience situations in ways that simply aren't possible in any other entertainment format.
When it comes to character and situation design, limitless potential exists to connect players with a range of experiences unlike their own, while simultaneously empowering audiences with representations of themselves.
Despite this reality, patterns in modern game production often marginalize and degrade social groups many gamers fit into, missing an opportunity to expose all players to a wider range of real world experiences.
Join our panel for a live performance and discussion focusing on diversity in modern gaming.
