Ideas for community-led collaboration

The creative sparks ignited by Global Game Jam

Game jams both big and small have been a stimulating bucket of creativity for developers everywhere, encouraging creati…

Collaboration is all but inevitable when people come together around shared interests. Whether it's taking part in a game jam, improvising a scene in Film & TV, or putting a band together in Music, all it takes is an idea and someone to share it with. These are just a few examples, so what would collaboration look like in each of our communities and Spaces?

Podcasts could be a great one, either by specific games community or just in general for a group of creators to share some thoughts.

I’d guest on a podcast if horror ever comes up. This knowledge has to go somewhere lol

Podcasting would be great! All you need is a half decent mic, some free recording software, and somewhere to host it. There's even a bounty in Content Creators about podcasting!

Horror and Cats has horror (and I assume cats?) covered, and MURRRAAAAY might be starting one focused on PlayStation!

Sounds like there's potential, and I'd be subscriber #1 😄

Anyone else interested in podcasting? What other topics would you be interested in as a group? Are there other areas where your interests cross over?

You could do recurring episodes on the bounties' submissions for a specific community.

That is actually a really great idea!

That'd be cool! You could have other members on as guests to talk about their approach to different bounty types.

Martin - seems like your ideas around gaming, game development, and events could fit here nicely!

Forgot about this post - here are the comments from the other post:

Me:

Ever thought about doing something along the lines of a “fire side” chat and either recorded as video/audio or transcript and posting weekly/monthly. I’d happy take part in random conversations about the industry. Although I am not part of the industry I have a outsider opinion from a corporate/developer perspective. WASD as the first one…five? WASD Stage “Just About Talking…” (I’m on one of the seats) Edit: Thinking about this it’s a crossover from the WASD Talks post. Should be my second submission but… “Just About Talks WASD Live”?!?!

Boomer:

That’s an interesting idea, and I could see it being quite flexible. What other topics in this format would you be interested in, and who could we invite to contribute?

Me:

Topics; I’m happy to talk about almost anything Gaming/Game Development. On Gaming - it would depend on the game discussed. Could be anything for Game Development - UI/UX, Programming, Data, Design, Managing, Planning, etc. Invite; If it was just on JA then it could be other members/staff and we could invite guest speakers. If it was at an event like WASD - you could ask almost anyone in the building from Exhibitors to Attendees, or other JA members (if they are attending, we already know a few who have some interesting ideas for talks). There are always a lot of people around that would be willing to give a comment about something going on. Maybe that is another topic - what have people on the show floor been talking about most and what do they like/dislike? I’ve always thought that something like WASD should have some kind of Radio, not only to add some atmosphere but to allow Indies to talk about there games live, provide info about the game, etc. The music played would be from the games. A lot of work to setup but would add something extra and unique?

Boomer:

I love the idea of a radio station at events! We had something similar at events I’ve run before, but it wasn’t live broadcast otherwise we’d need a license.

A couple of things come to mind…

Discussions about the different types of roles in gaming (or other medium) other than the main ones discussed all the time - developer, musician, or artist (of course you can still have these discussions).
Discuss what it is like to run a company, the different roles, terminology (the difference between being fired and laid off as an example) but keeping it all simple so people understand without complex legal wording.
Burning Questions – what’s hot at the moment, does anyone have anything they want to ask and discuss (I know I have a couple of questions I’d love discussed).
Personal one – Data, there is more to it than just sales. What would people like to know and how can they use it.
