WIGJ Profile

Emma Park | she / her

Emma currently works as a campaign manager at Fourth Floor, a creator marketing agency focused on gaming. They’ve been working in marketing for 5 years - 3 of those in video games - but they’ve got a lot of personal projects going on outside of that as well. They are a freelance artist, are writing a book, have plans for a video game, and have very recently started streaming, too!

It’s important to Emma that young women understand there are so many ways to work in the video game industry beyond being the person making the games. Working in agencies is a great way in, and has enabled them to collaborate with so many different game devs and publishers, from the indie to triple A, and feel involved in the success of a title (as well as introduce them to so many cool people, too)!

WIGJ Profile

Basil is a queer neurodivergent Black and Indigenous writer, sensitivity consultant, and translator. They published their first D&D adventure, Riches of the Earth last month (December 2020). It's a potato-themed horror story where no one has to die, the town is 99% non-white, and almost all the NPCs are queer. When they're not working on TTRPG writing, they're translating Homer's Odyssey into AAVE, a project they're calling The Afrodyssey.

Conor, Matt, and Jade from the Sheffield Gaming Collective (@SheffieldGaming) discuss some of the gaming news happening in Sheffield this month. They also decide that they want to leave their gaming grievances and grumps back in 2020, so have a little moan about the things that are really grinding their gears. Conor even attempts to argue that the Nintendo Switch is not a good videogame console, with mixed results.
