So glad to see a talk on this subject! I really think we need to interrogate the core idea of cozy games and how they whitewash capitalism, colonialism, and private property ownership by erasing any trace of conflict or sense of collective responsibility.

The speaker will delve into cozy games and how they uphold values of colonialism in their mechanics and narrative. Watch this #GDoCExpo talk by Tristan J.

I graduated this past week from NYU's MFA in Game Design. Going back to school mid-career was challenging, but I never second-guessed that decision. This program changed my life. Here’s a post about our spring showcase and watching people play my game Vya. www.adrianaxjacobs.com/blog/the-fin...
