Our talk goes over the challenges we faced when developing an educational game about caring for cats. We’ll share the difficulties we ran into beyond the typical development hurdles such as navigating legal concerns, giving ample sensitive content warnings, and compiling expert opinions.

This talk will highlight some decision points we found to be important in building an educational game that tackles sensitive subjects appropriately.

We aim to show the audience practical insight on navigating sensitive content, managing expert collaborations, and making tough development choices when creating an educational game.
