Heartwars is a board game about creation, destruction and strategizing. Using a variety of different blocks, you’ll navigate a terraformable environment in order to eliminate all your opponents by destroying their castles and pushing them out of the map. It’s a free-for-all battle: it’s everyone against everyone else!
Project K8 is a rogue-like game. You control K8, a genetically engineered super-soldier, fending off war robots by creatively using her only power – telekinesis – in a desperate attempt to flee the scientific lab she was born in.
The series invites practitioners and researchers in and around game design to present their work, thoughts, and process. In this episode, Dr. Marie Jarrell talks about embodied identification, the connection you get from controlling a game character. Can playing games change the way we see ourselves? Can it change how we see the people around us?
A total of three episodes are planned for the spring, released over the next two months.

All game developers and designers are welcome to apply. This year we host entirely on Gather.town so you can join us live (in living color!) from any part of the globe! Be a part of the yearly celebration of our students achievements, help us playtest their games and provide feedback.
Gather.town is like a browser-based RPG with video chat. We’ve built an arcade hall in it. It is almost the same experience as the physical show floor, except we can all work comfortably from home in our pajamas and the games remain available 24/7
The jury attends May 31 – June 3. We schedule activities for ~3 hours a day to leave more time for playtesting and individual meetings. The games are, however, available 24/7!
We have scheduled 3 days for open playtesting in gather.town – 29/4, 12/5 and 21/5. Starting at 13:00. Feel free to join in and test the tech. No work required – it is fine to just come and hang out with us.
