I Am Dead is a charming puzzle adventure game from the creators of Hohokum and Wilmot’s Warehouse, in which you play as a ghost finding other ghosts by exploring an island, unlocking the memories of its colourful characters, and using supernatural powers to peer through objects and find mementos linked to the dead.

African game development with Sithe Ncube

Saison 2 · Épisode 5

mardi 22 décembre 2020 • Durée 35:50

The African continent has historically been underrepresented in the global game development scene, but game developers living there want to change that. Sithe Ncube, who is Zambian and currently studying Computer Science in South Africa, spends much of her spare time working with various initiatives supporting Black game developers, African game developers, and specifically African women making games.

Among other work, Sithe is a strategic advisor for Humble Bundle’s new $1 million a year Black Game Developer Fund, and a regional organiser for Global Game Jam supporting participants in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this conversation, she tells Jordan about game development in Africa and about her own initiative, Prosearium, which aims to document 1,000 African women creating and contributing to games.

The Sims 4 with Danielle (EbonixSims)

Saison 2 · Épisode 4

mardi 8 décembre 2020 • Durée 37:12

The Sims is one of the most popular series of games in the world, in part because it caters to many players who are underrepresented elsewhere. But players like Danielle have long been dissatisfied with the way this series represents Black people, with fewer options for skin tones and hair styles than their white equivalents and often lower quality for those options that do exist.

Danielle, otherwise known as EbonixSims, tells Jordan how she started making custom content for The Sims 4 to fill this gap and provide more options for Black sims, and how she has been involved—as an EA Game Changer—with helping the Sims team make the game better for players like her.

Young game designers with Elizabeth Orji-Smith

Saison 2 · Épisode 3

mardi 24 novembre 2020 • Durée 38:54

In 2019, Elizabeth Orji-Smith was one of the winners of that year’s BAFTA Young Game Designers competition for their game concept Creatively Bankrupt, an action RPG that uses heists to explore topics like unionisation in creative industries. In this episode, they tell Jordan where they got the idea for the game, what they’re up to now, and what they want from the future.

The 2021 BAFTA Young Game Designers competition is open for entries until March 2021. Sadly, a few days before this episode was released, BAFTA shared the news that a previous winner, Lucy-Jack Reynolds, died in March 2020. In her memory, book publisher Muswell Press has launched a competition for entries to a new anthology called Queer Life, Queer Love. Please consider supporting young trans people.

The Beak, Feather, & Bone supplement Tail, Scale, & Bone, which Elizabeth illustrated, is available on itch.io - all proceeds are being donated to the Bukit Bail Fund of Pittsburgh.

The actual play podcast that provided some of the inspiration for Creatively Bankrupt is Friends at the Table.
