Making Weird Games in Sydney
Making Weird Games in Sydney
Sydney has a storied history of videogame development.
However, despite games from AAA blockbusters to indie hits being made here, recent years have seen a relative lack of creative risk taking in our city.
Excitingly this is starting to change, with Sydney game makers producing work that pushes the limits of what games can be, who we see shown in games and the kinds of stories games can tell. The wider industry is taking note too, with their work being acknowledged with nominations and awards within Australia and internationally.
Join our panel of Sydney game developers as we discuss challenging industry norms, expanding the representation we see in games, making games outside of accepted subject matter, experimenting with aesthetics and subject matter and importantly, getting weird.
