SPEAKER - Jean Leggett
Our first speaker is Jean Leggett, co-founder and CEO of One More Story Games, the developer of StoryStylus, a simplified authoring platform for amateur and professional writers to create, publish and market diverse narrative-based video games. Jean is the lead writer of the Charlaine Harris game adaptation of “Shakespeare’s Landlord” to be published in early 2019 about a woman coming to grips with her PTSD from sexual assault when she discovers a murder close to home.
In her talk "Stories that haunt us and heal us: exploring mental health, abuse and trauma through games narrative” Jean will be speaking about the design of Charlaine Harris’ "Shakespeare's Landlord," a novel-to-game adaptation and how the development team designed narrative choices, events and characters to mindfully explore trauma, PTSD and character progression within the construct of a 2D mystery adventure game.
SPEAKER - Arno Görgen
Our second speaker is Arno Görgen, research associate at the University of the Arts in Bern. Over the past years Arno has worked in various medicine-historic institutes researching topics like "Violence towards Kids" and "Science and Pop Culture". He's currently graduating at the University in Bern with his project „Biohorror in Digital Games“.
His talk "Mental Health in Digital Games. Ethics and Aesthetics of the Unplayable" is going to focus on the depiction of mental illness in video games.

SPONSOR
Talk & Play is kindly sponsored by CipSoft:
CipSoft was founded in 2001 and arose from the success of Tibia, one of the first MMORPG’s of the world. In 2003, the company from Regensburg published TibiaME and with that the first online role-playing game for mobile phones. Panzer League, the first mobile multiplayer online battle arena for tanks, is currently in soft launch. Being one of the oldest German game developers, the company has an approximate annual turnover of 10 million euros and 90 employees. The independence from external investors as well as a continuous income from their online games allows CipSoft a steady growth without waves of redundancies or crunch times. You can find more information about CipSoft on their website: cipsoft.com/index.php/de/
Talk & Play is a format created by Berlingamescene.com, which has been running the event in Berlin every two months since 2013. Visit berlingamescene.com/talkandplay/ for more. This event is run independently and takes inspiration from the original format.
Roasted root veggies to go with dinner - carrots, sweet potatoes, golden beets, and a Cortland apple for a tangy accent. Tasty, healthy, and also aesthetically pleasing.
Part of the woolgathering for today - this was at the Chinese Gardens in the Spring. It's only December, but I am starting to forget what budding plants look like.
