Mrs Parker & Dr Love. Mum of 2, game designer, community & social play researcher, PT senior lecturer @ Abertay & chalky antics @ #oneplaything Views are my own
Today our amazing DES402 students @AbertayUni are pitching their games for the Whale Song Park Jam
They have designed games for public space, multiplayer, 360-degree play in 3 weeks for the park.
We’ve seen Seagulls, pirates, puzzles, rubbish collecting robots & sausage dogs!
It’s day 2 of the @adascot Games in Motion Jam and teams are play testing their initial games concepts - there’s a resource management game based on spoon theory, a maze game that you build & then escape & an asymmetric burger building game with embedded inclusivity mechanics
Lots of amazing and delicious analogue game ideas starting to emerge on day one of @adascot Games Jam in Motion led by @DJCAD & @AbertayGameLab kindly hosted by @weareneon
It’s the time for….you guessed it #des101! We’re back and getting ready to kick off another term worth of rapid prototyping @AbertayUni with our Game Design and Production 1st years! Keep an eye out for the # as we’ll be tweeting the amazing concepts they’re making this term!
We are collecting stories from the dance floor to shape the design of an interactive dance experience.
If you have stories of EPIC or AWFUL nights out or anything in between, we'd love to hear them! Participate here: tinyurl.com/DanceFloorMemori… Thanks!
Woohoo!! @AMazeFest is coming to the UK!
I'll be there performing the Crowd Creativity Show - can't wait 😁
An incredible opportunity to try the kind of games you'd never get to see anywhere else 🧡
