I developed a small game for a game jam organized by the #IGDA Climate SIG.

It's a short story about coping with heatwaves while having a baby.

Our game All Rise is featured by major games website @rockpapershot! Lots of focus on the activist roots of the game with @FossielvrijNL as well. With @betterthemask @HugoBille @Gigalithic

[Anticiplay @anticiplay]

All Rise has gotten a lot of attention lately, we are so grateful! In case you missed it, read more about the gameplay, characters and the first chapter of the game here!

[Joost Vervoort 🌌 @Vervoort_Joost]

All Rise — an inappropriately joyous game about fighting for the planet. A major report on our game that clashes Phoenix Wright, Disco Elysium and deck building with the ecological crisis - to help fund real court cases. Spread this far and wide! https://t.co/KvxBB2OkNl

[Anticiplay @anticiplay]

Have you read our latest blog yet by @Vervoort_Joost? What does a research agenda for transformative imagination look like? And how do we link resonant action, deeply creative practices and imagination infrastructures in ways that create profound societal changes?

[Joost Vervoort 🌌 @Vervoort_Joost]

A blog about how I connect the three main themes I'm working on: resonant action, resonant imagination, and imagination infrastructures. Other people have found this conceptualisation useful – link in the first reply:

[Anticiplay @anticiplay]

Utrecht folk! Join this event on November 2nd on imagination infrastructures - where you'll dive into this concept from different academic perspectives 👇

Have you read our new blog yet? @Vervoort_Joost writes about Unity's newly announced fees, and the consequences for the game industry as imagination infrastructure - infrastructure that helps us imagine our society as a collective 🌍 https://t.co/Dmhw2iskXN

[Joost Vervoort 🌌 @Vervoort_Joost]

So happy to see this out. There's a chapter with @cmPlaysScience and @wiegraf_ in here where we discuss games, institutional transformationscand unmaking current destructive systems.

Check out this awesome podcast, now with an episode featuring our own @Vervoort_Joost! 👏

[Joost Vervoort 🌌 @Vervoort_Joost]

Tune in to the @getplayedpod podcast where Rick and Morty writer and games journalist @heathercampbell chats to me about our game, All Rise!

[Joost Vervoort 🌌 @Vervoort_Joost]

Frans Rijnders presenting his MSc thesis on meaning-making processes by players of Dark Souls and Disco Elysium. Players reflect on translating their meaning-making around these games to every day life lessons. Great example of why it's good to investigate the very best games.
