Technoculture, Art and Games (TAG) is an interdisciplinary centre for research/ creation in game studies and design, digital culture and interactive art
Want a crash course in making games?
Join us in the Atelier twice a month (ish!) for LEVEL UP!
The LEVEL UP workshops are a series of free classes on anything from Unity to Twine that are open to the public.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned veteran, these workshops will teach you some of the skills needed to make honest-to-goodness video games.
Alex and Michael from the Residual Media Depot will be hosting a workshop on GB Studio – a free drag-and-drop game creation tool that lets you export your games online or as Game Boy ROM files.
Homebrew design for outmoded videogame consoles is not a new phenomenon, but GB Studio, as an open source program, is perhaps the first accessible tool for participating in the practice. This type of development raises intriguing questions about unauthorized additions to existing game libraries and the afterlife of videogame hardware such as the Nintendo Game Boy.
