IDIOSYNCRATIC GAMES, OR: IDIOGAMES
PLEASE RSVP
In this talk, Alex Camilleri will present and explore games that provide unique ideas and show singular cultural traits through game mechanics and narratives. Spanning from small experimental games to bigger productions, the aim of this talk is to show how valuable it can be to create games that challenge and enrich the player’s understanding of the world.
Alex Camilleri is an Italian game designer currently living in Malmö, Sweden. After experimenting with the game medium and following the release of the autobiographical game Memoir En Code: Reissue, Alex decided it was time to change gear. He now makes scary stuff at Frictional Games as a gameplay designer and programmer, but still finds time to make small interactive experiences.

WHEN MARIO MEETS RABBIDS
How a little studio in Milano convinced Ubisoft and Nintendo that developing a turn based strategy mashup between the Super Mario characters and the Rabbids was a good idea. And how Mario+Rabbids: Kingdom Battle became a surprise hit with both the public and the critics. The definitive feel good game development story.
Andrea Babich is Lead Narrative Designer for Mario+Rabbids: Kingdom Battle at Ubisoft Italy. With Fabio Bortolotti, he hosts the leading Italian retrogaming Twitch channel. Moreover, he's a chiptune composer and an occasional ROM modder. Andrea received his B.A. in Communication Sciences at the University of Bologna with a Thesis on retrogaming.

Babich lives and works in Milan.

Games User Research: How to avoid the designer's facepalm
Designers have to tell in advance how gamers will comprehend, feel and interact with their games in order to craft successful gaming experiences and avoid frustration, doubts or uncertainty. And since user testing is a powerful tool to verify designers' intents and predictions, Games User Research is a powerful ally. In this workshop, I will show how the science of user testing made your favorite games perfect and I will provide attendees with takeaways they can use to improve their own projects.

Day 4: Geometry
Brief: to design a video game set on a desert island, to include a building and signage.
This is my final storyboard showing the gameplay of the video game. I chose a puzzle theme.
Most of the images were traced from photos found online or in catalogues. They were then coloured with marker pens and reduced in size to make the colours more intense.
The cover of the video game can be seen at the bottom.
