PLAY20 | Day 4 | Impulse "The Queer Games Avant-Garde" by Bo Ruberg

The queer games avant-garde is a vibrant network of independent video game developers whose radical, experimental, and deeply queer work is driving a momentous shift in the medium of video games. This talk draws from interviews with these innovative game-makers, tracing patterns and tensions across networks of contemporary queer and trans game development. Their insights go beyond typical conversations about LGBTQ representation in video games, however. What emerges from these conversations is an exploration of queer game-making practices, the politics of queer independent video games, queer esthetics, and the future of queer video games and technology. Even as they wrestle with these topics, LGBTQ game makers subvert and redefine the medium of video games by placing queerness front and center. The Impulse "The Queer Games Avant-Garde - How LGBTQ Video Game Makers Are Reimagining The Medium of Video Games" by Bo Ruberg was produced for PLAY20 - Creative Gaming Festival and streamed on November 7th 2020.
