This past weekend saw our owner and publisher Latoya Peterson speak on a panel at IndieCade, a festival and conference celebrating independent game development.
Moderator Shawn Alexander Allen (Treachery in Beatdown City) said that the discussion, “Let’s Do Something About It,” grew from a talk about race and gaming he gave at last year’s event. Joining them on the panel:
- Ashley Alicea, board member for the Puerto Rico chapter of the International Game Developers Association and a game producer for Qlovi
- Code Liberation founder and Tech Under Thirty head Catt Small
- TJ Thomas, director of Alpha Six Productions and a self-identified games activist
- Fatima Zenine Villanueva, a designer and teacher’s assistant for Code Liberation
A Storify of the panel is under the cut.
