Mike Diver@mikediver.bsky.social · 2w agoCome and listen to people talk about how they made very different Alien games at very different times of game development. Did license holders 'get' video games in the 90s? What had changed by the 2010s? Enjoy a tasty cocktail with the cost of entry, and play select Alien games. luma.com/p4pjgibd
@davidwengrow.bsky.social would love to get in touch to talk about the intersection of imagining new ways of arranging the world, play, childhood and video games.

We're back from @officialpax.bsky.social PAX West! 4 days of sharing adaptive gaming knowledge with kids and families in the Family Gaming Room hosted by @geekdadgamer.bsky.social Follow along and check out respawnfoundation.org to find out when adaptive gaming shows up in a community near you.
We had an amazing time at gamescom in a huge Family Gaming Room. 1000's of kids and parents came to play together and learn about healthy gaming. We'd love to do this again, but need to get the word out, so do share with families in your networks.
So many amazing accessibility and game discovery conversations - many where those two topics collided.

This is our biggest ever "Family Gaming Room" with 100s games and 26 huge screens! Gamescom was exhausting but so rewarding. 1000's of kids and parents played together and found new games. I'll share a photo from the event for each game you can spot. Shares welcome! We'd love to do more of these.
Day 2 at @officialpax.bsky.social was busier than ever. Weekend brought some older kids (and lots of dads) to play, along with a bunch a families coming back to find us after last year. See you today?
