The world of alternate reality games (ARGs) is made up of a very committed and enthusiastic community and tonight that community’s annual conference starts in Toronto. ARGFest-o-con 2012 is running at Ryerson University tomorrow and Saturday (schedule).
It looks to be an informative event in regards to the world of ARGs and I’ll be checking out tomorrow’s activities. Unfortunately I’ll be missing the FestQuest.
If you are female or know somebody who is and they are also interested in games then you should tell them about Jeuxly! Dames Making Games is at it again and it’s a great chance to learn the ins and outs of game making.
What’s Jeuxly?
Jeuxly, based on the model of JAMuary and the Difference Engine Initiative, will aim to get first-time female game-makers to make their own first games during the month of July (and half of August). We’ll be providing you with weekly group work sessions and peer mentoring at Bento Miso (a co-working space near Trinity Bellwoods Park, and DMG’s generous sponsor), an online support and resource package, and an opportunity to present their games in public at a Dames Making Games reception and social. The incubator will run in conjunction with The New Game Makers, a speaker and workshop series held at Bento Miso featuring female game professionals.
Apply online now! Deadline is June 10.
