Projects, Play, and Pandemics: Creativity in COVID Times
0Have you been thinking you want to be more creative and productive during the pandemic? Do you have a bunch of ideas, but you don’t know where to start? Are you filled with inspiration, but you don’t have an outlet for that passion? Now is a great time to work on that game or rulebook you’ve been planning forever. During COVID, try taking on a project like making a game, learning/brushing up on a new tool/engine, starting a jam, creating a mod, writing interactive fiction/etc. It’s fun, distracting, AND important for portfolio material to find jobs. These veterans of tabletop and videogames will share how they’ve been spending their COVID-19 time and give you some tips on getting your project going and the tools that will help you.
