Our monthly speaker socials expose the Toronto creative community to dames involved with creating games and game art in a wide variety of roles. Join us to hear about exciting new projects from from three new speakers each month!

Speakers

• Tanya Kan will present Double Blind, a multiplayer action tag game inspired by Greek mythologies and designed for the Oculus Rift VR headset. Tanya was the art lead for Double Blind during August’s Indiecade/Oculus VR Jam. Learn more about her background, which includes an academic thesis on EVE Online, writing about experimental indie games, creating 3D real-time spaces during and after her postgrad Game Arts Programme at Seneca, training animators in UDK at a studio in Hong Kong, and a new game in the works!
• Megan Patterson is a freelance tech, culture, and video game writer. She is also one of the co-founders and science and technology (and games!) editor at PaperDroids.com, a feminist site about geek culture. She is a lifelong gamer and super stoked to be learning how to make her first game.
• Christine Kim will preview her upcoming work with Vector Festival 2014, including FemPOP, the arcade she is curating in February – and maybe a game jam announcement!

About our Speakers Socials

DMG Toronto holds monthly speaker socials to expose the Toronto creative community to dames involved with creating games and game art in a wide variety of roles, from beginners just dipping their toes in to seasoned developers and designers; and to provide a platform for these participants to find encouragement, resources, and a venue for speaking about their work in a supportive and productive environment.
