Puns, and gardening as deeply intertwined with colonialism. So here for this. #ggconf2019
The colonial garden as microcosm of the empire. Now imagine the game industry as one.
Collecting, naming, pruning, agents of empire, and threats to colonial gardening and how we might embrace the latter to decolonize game dev. #ggconf19
Science bois: binarize to civilize! Eliminate any locally available knowledge that doesn’t fit the imperial scheme. #ggconf2019
So how does this manifest in game culture? For starters: genre. If your game doesn’t have a genre, it’s not a game.
The genre of “walking simulators” started out to delegitimize games Gamers didn’t like. #ggconf19
THIS TALK #ggconf2019

Heh. #ggconf19
Biodiversity in the game industry. #ggconf2019
