I’m beyond thankful to the Different Games Collective for awarding me a scholarship to attend GDC this year! 🙌 I’m honoured that they liked the my game demo Mixcommunication, which incorporates both British and Japanese Sign Language, enough to award me a scholarship to this incredible industry event! 👋✨
Throughout the week, I soaked up so much knowledge from inspiring talks, connected with amazing people, and felt truly supported in my mission to make the game industry more inclusive for Sign Language users. 💙
The encouragement I received means the world to me, and I’m more motivated than ever to keep pushing for accessibility and representation in gaming. 🎮🚀
A massive thank you to everyone who shared their insights, offered advice, and supported in this vision.
Without the Different Games Collective support I never would have been able to attend GDC. All of the volunteer staff through DGC were amazingly kind and so were all the other scholarship winners I met ❤️
I would love to return to GDC someday to give a talk about my experiences making multilingual games or to showcase one of my future games!
