DETAILS

A flatgame is a simple, 2D, hand-drawn game world for telling short stories, recalling dreams, and exploring textures. The flatgame is made with little coding, and is an accessible way to make small, handmade digital experiences. In this workshop, we will play games, learn how they were made, and share with each other. Through this workshop, we will also cover the very basics of Unity, a free game engine, and learn how an artist might use Unity in their art practice. No experience is needed. Instructor Nilson Carroll is a video game artist, filmmaker, and Assistant Curator and Preservation Specialist at Visual Studies Workshop. Image: still from a flatgame made by Evan Bobrow
