Glasgow Games Soapbox

An evening of talks about games and game development.

We have a small selection of speakers from in and out of the games industry sharing their wisdom. Expect talks to be around 30 minutes long.

Austin Kelmore - IWGB

Austin is a programmer and former Chair of the IWGB Game Workers Union, he also runs gameworkersolidarity.com, a tool for organising with other game workers. He will be talking to us about workers unions, their history and future within the games industry.

Bryn Dickinson - Shaderland

Bryn will be talking about her new game Shaderland. Shaderland invites its players to guide a little creature by building networks of rules which together conjure a world into existence - something like Lemmings by way of Zachtronics. Bryn will talk about bridging players into the strange way of thinking that shader programming demands, and the fascinating challenge of developing a game in Rust from the ground up.

Check out our previous talks on youtube here.

Doors open at 6 and there will be space for networking before. If you are interested in giving a talk at this event or future events please message the organisers.

Our host for this event will be Glasgow School of Art, who are once again allowing us to use their very fancy Reid Lecture Theatre.

There are usually a few people who head to the pub after the event, so you can have an extended chat.

We expect all attendees to follow our code of conduct.
