Not me showing appreciation to South of Midnight as a speaker at @gameuxsummit.com … just to have their creative director David Sears speak right after me!
Please show that game even more love, its development journey is SO interesting.

Sometimes you may not know. So ask a consultant. Ask an expert what they know.
(A recurring theme at the summit is: Find an expert, and ask them.)

1. Is this southern gothic?
2. Is this class struggle?
3. Is this esoteric talents?
4. Is this truth and hope?
These are the pillars of the direction. If the feature or development isn't on at least 3 of these, it probably isn't something relevant enough to spend time on.

'Sensitivity reading' is not about forcing DEI, censorship, judging, or woke/broke.
It is about immersion, being memorable, avoiding backlash, and a virtuous cycle.
It is about creating quality content. Like you would with historical projects.

Can you imagine making a movie about the French Revolution without a French historian? Or about northern mythology without an expert? An accessible website without including disabled people?
Of course you would include an expert on the thing you are building. The same goes for culture.

It’s Pecha Kucha time at the #GameUXsummit! Our first PK speaker, Maria Amirkhanyan (Head of Gaming Division at Duamentes) wasn’t sadly able to join us because of extremely frustrating visa issues. But she recorded her talk “Make me stay, don’t make me play” so that we can still hear her insights.
