Everyone on this panel has experience creating games about or with themes of sex and intimacy. From censorship to technical challenges, they will discuss how and why they create their games in spite of the challenges.
Attendees will leave with a newfound understanding of love games, and how and why the panelists continue to create in this space. Ultimately, attendees will see the encouragement and positivity of such games, the perseverance their creators exhibit, and gain valuable tactics to push through their own, similar challenges.
Anyone with an open mind and an interest in this topic may attend; no prerequisite knowledge is necessary.
