GameOn 2018 WeAllPlay Conference - David Roulin "Learning Cybersecurity by Playing as a Hacker"
6Colorful Darkness (release: 2019) is a game that makes you think and feel like a hacker. David will tell you how this game design approach allows us to teach people about cyber-risks. David creates games since its early childhood. Tabletop RPGs, boardgames, card games, and videogames. His first videogames were hand-made out of paper because his parents couldn’t afford a NES. Then he learnt QBASIC and Turbo Pascal but soon realized he absolutely sucked at computer graphics. This series of existential frustrations, combined to a successful 15+ years career as a software engineer later on, led to the crazy decision to start a late career in the game industry despite he’s now a dad and still can’t figure out how to tweet efficiently. “Let’s at least try to have some fun before dying” is the motto.
