We finally got to host our Games Plus Girls bootcamp last week. The girls were really engaged and this was definitely our best bootcamp yet. Thanks @dot_africa for helping us make this happen. And thank you @AsikanaNetwork and @G_E_M18 for collaborating

Are you ready Lusaka? #ALTCTRLJAM

[Ubongo Game Lab @UbongoGameLab]

⚠️ We regret to announce that the Games Plus Girls 2018 bootcamp and ALT CTRL JAM social event have been postponed due to the restrictions on public gatherings in order to comply with government efforts to contain the current cholera outbreak in Lusaka.

It's important to have diverse perspectives to create new experiences in games and keep the art alive ❤️

A lot of the most interesting game designers aren't gamers at all! Just ask Shigeru Miyamoto, Director of Nintendo. https://t.co/rp1GJo54UY

[Simon Parkin @SimonParkin]

This, from Shigeru Miyamoto, on how Nintendo only hires designers who have deep and wide interests outside of video games, to the point where perhaps they don't even play games, is close to the heart of it all.

Great project by @_LadySith, program manager of @AMazeFest in Cape Town 2018. https://t.co/nyalmJDTmF
