We are looking forward to joining our friends at the Fair Play Alliance at the Game Developers Conference on Monday, March 18. Michael Preston and Sarah Jacobstein will join Kimberly Voll, PhD, Weszt Hart, Natasha Miller, and Shuli Gilutz, Ph.D. 🔜 GDC for Harmonizing Multiplayer Experiences, an interactive workshop. In this workshop, we will go through some best practices for risk assessment to determine where you can anticipate player behavior problems in a game, identifying what good looks like for your game, and using behavior subgroups to create a framework for how to think about the player dynamics within a game. We will then spend time working on practical features or interventions to help enhance your desired dynamics and reduce the problematic ones. We’ll also look at how you can set and measure outcomes to assess how your game and its community are doing from a player-dynamics lens. If you'll be at GDC, please let us know! https://lnkd.in/eH-bTNta

With ReadyCode, game developers define a modding API tailored to their specific game. Within the game's configuration, choices are made regarding: Identifying which parts of the game state can be accessed for modding. Specifying read-only or read-write status for elements of the game state. Exposing game assets for utilization in mods. Determining built-in game functions that can be invoked in mods. The API for the moddable game, implemented in ReadyCode, is set as an "entity database." The game state is structured like a database, using tables and column with straightforward value types. #GamingAPI #Modding

The second gamedev.world global developer conference is an octolingual games conference starting on December 9th. It's a ridiculous event to organize - everything has to be done in 8 languages, translating a 8x8 language matrix is absurdly expensive, and our team is a tiny, scrappy group of people with a fervent belief in democratizing development knowledge. But what we get in return is incredible. Working with a super-diverse lineup of 30 speakers speaking 8 languages from every corner of the world, you learn so much about game development just by hearing the different perspectives, and the various opportunities and obstacles people elsewhere face. You'll never be able to hear most of these speakers speak anywhere else - and even if you did, you wouldn't understand them. gamedev.world is a labour of love, but it's obviously also a deeply expensive and logistically complicated event. We've been blessed with Xsolla's support, and a wide variety of kind sponsors, and right now, all that's left is for people to tune in. So, I have a small request: take a minute to check out the (incredible!) schedule, and if there's even a single interesting talk on there for you, please take a moment to signal boost the event, and join us this weekend for the conference. The more folks show up, the more often we can do this, and the more we can chip away at the language barrier in game development.
