Gave a fun virtual talk today for Game Worlds, an Austin-based workshop for kids (ages 8-18) where they develop video games, in games, in one week! Enthusiastic thanks to my special guest, and long-time creative collaborator, Liz Rishel, for joining to help demonstrate live direction with voice actors works, and to help share tips and tricks for your voice with a home studio setup!
From Game World’s website:
Interested in game development?
Game Worlds is an award-winning STEM education program that turns kids’ passion for playing games into a love of building them! Working in a team, students learn both the artistic and technical aspects of game development, bond with friends, and build confidence as coders, storytellers, artists, and musicians. Because the final projects are actually built by them, students leave Game Worlds with both a game they feel proud of, and the skills needed to build their next one!
Created by Game Developers
Our program was built from the ground up by real game developers, which means students always receive the most relevant and practical knowledge! We work with the local game development community to connect students directly with professional developers eager to share their knowledge. Student presentations at the end of each week give kids the chance to receive feedback directly from the minds behind their favorite games. From lessons and workshops to private studio tours, the relationship between veteran game developers and aspiring students is at the heart of the Game Worlds experience!
Where creativity and logic go together
Each week at Game Worlds presents students with a new theme to explore and build around! From Classic Horror to Real Life Robots, kids design games and stories around a variety of interesting and educational topics. We prioritize tools and techniques that enable young developers to become self-sufficient, and make a point of teaching both the scientific and artistic aspects of building games. With special design challenges each week, students are consistently given the opportunity to solve complex technical problems unique to their creative vision!
