Last week Arden Osthof game and narrative designer, gave us a very insightful introduction on how to design better gender options in your games, featuring loads of positive examples & tips on how to offer a lot of options for representation on a small budget! If you didn't have the chance to attend, you're in luck, because the entire talk is now available on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/dnAY8icN

Why does representation in games matter? Because it can change everything - and how a person views themself. This was the case for Lea Irion with The Last of Us. For Pride 2024, she tells us her story and those of two devs from Hamburg, Jade-Kain Coffi and Tobias Graff, CEO of Mooneye Studios. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with us! 💜 Read the article now on our website:  https://lnkd.in/dgqR2hrJ
