Hey @winstontseng - I'm reaching out to invite you as a guest speaker in a class I'm teaching. (See the note I sent you via instagram - hope you can make it!) -eric
Later this week: I'm running an online workshop with @KillScreen and @AIGAdesign.
Come join us to play around, learn some of the fundamentals of game design, and see how you might integrate games into your professional and creative practice.
More info: killscreen.com/product/game-…
If you happen to be near Helsinki in Feb:
• @nakworks and I at GamesNow!: gamesnow.aalto.fi/nathalie-p…
• workshop at Aalto University (open to anyone): gamesnow.aalto.fi/gn-worksho…
• plus game design talks and workshops in Lapland (and possibly Taalinn, Estonia too!)
Later this week: join me at @KillScreen for an online game design workshop where we will be playing, modding, and designing. It's a solid intro to ideas and methods for designing games - whether you are already in the games world or just game-curious.

@nakworks and I are honored and touched to receive this award in the memory of our dear friend Bernie DeKoven at @IndieCade this year.
Thanks to @jofsharp for being a friend, sparking our first collaboration and introducing us - and to @lewis_gordon, who spoke about the impact of design and games on the climate and the planet - something we are trying to integrate more into our thinking and into our work.
Tomorrow @nakworks and I are talking about materials, space, and why we stopped building games. 1pm ET - free to register at Clash of Realities online.

Next week @nakworks and I are speaking at #ClashOfRealities about materiality and our architectural / game collaborations. The whole conference is online and free!

For my fellow NYCers - this voting guide is the best I've found to make sure progressive dems get the noms:

Here's why a design “crit” is a better model for a critical exchange:
In a design crit your goal is to HELP the person whose project or statement is being critiqued - to understand what they were trying to do and to strategize with them how they can do it better.
(a thread)
And BTW: this doesn’t mean a crit can’t be critical - it’s called a critique, after all! Direct and honest is best.
If there is a repugnant idea that is spoiling a design, your aim should be to point that out and provide some alternative approaches.
