Worldbuilding towards…

We’re all in a really rough place right now – the news is nightmare fuel and it’s kinda hard to forget about the climate. Everywhere seems to be stoked in disaster and the problems pile high. Where do we go from here? What does the future hold?

This game jam encourages game makers to create worlds radically different from our current realities. Ones that foster care, compassion, and community. To echo Dunne & Raby, we seek “to create spaces for discussion and debate about alternative ways of being, and to inspire and encourage people’s imaginations to flow freely. Design speculations can act as a catalyst for collectively redefining our relationship to reality.”

Now, a question: what world would you like to live in?
