BAFTA will present a masterclass on ‘Exploring Dystopia in Games’ later this month over at its headquarters at 195 Piccadilly in London. 

The event will take place at 7PM on July 26, 2023, and will be hosted by award-winning television presenter Elle Osili-Wood. It will see Gareth Damian Martin (Citizen Sleeper) and Jörg Tittel (The Last Worker) discuss their recent games that both create and critique dystopian futures grounded in the worries of the present.

The pair will also educate those in attendance on how game design can be used to tell fundamentally political narratives, using examples from their own software. Each creator will also go into the development process and inspirations for their games, including what it is like to develop a game in a small team, as well as take part in a group panel discussion. 

If you’d like to book a ticket for the masterclass, or want to find out more information about it, you can do that over on the BAFTA website.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
