Make Visual Novel Assets! Jam
Make Visual Novel Assets! Jam
A game jam all about creating assets and resources for visual novel developers.
It starts on February 1st and ends on February 15th (two weeks)
The blood on our Controllers - The Complicity of the Game Industry in the Palestinian Genocide
[Documentary] The blood on our Controllers - The Complicity of the Game Industry in the Palestinian Genocide
Quoted from the video description:
"The blood on our Controllers" is an amateur documentary made to denounce the role of the video game industry in the normalization of the Palestinian genocide, through its close relation with the military industrial complex and the representation of Arab communities in games. It is a collaborative work between developers, artists, animators, and academicians to show how our games are doing wrong or right, what the game industry could be and what needs to be done for it to happen.
It's time for those who have been the loudest for so long to try and learn to listen.
Speakers (in order of appearance): Hippolyte Caubet, Rami Ismail, Younès Rabii, Florent Maurin, Meghna Jayanth, Holly Nielsen, Rasheed Abueideh, Elodie Roblain, Florence Nichols Smith
