Tips for getting your game published and/or doing a deal with a larger partner from Alyssa Padia Walles, COO of Midwest Games.

It's time to start paying attention to the gaming community, as it's officially larger than movies and sports combined. And it's not just for kids - 38% of gamers are between 18 and 34, with 16% over the age of 55. Gaming is shaping the future of entertainment, social media, and technological innovation. One key subject for gamers is inclusivity, which encourages empathy and understanding between different cultures and backgrounds. Gaming has become a vehicle for social commentary and political activism, tackling topics such as inequality, discrimination, climate change, and ecological destruction. Gaming also offers friendship, cooperation, and shared experiences, providing community and social support. Join the #stjudeplaylive charity stream for creators and gamers, and support St. Jude patients and families in a fun and easy way. Our gaming community has already raised over $60M for the kids at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital - ALSAC.

I developed a unique tabletop strategy board game called Vediic. The game introduces a new twist, challenging players to balance material gain with spirituality for victory. Inspired by the Indian knowledge and value system, Vediic offers a fresh and engaging gaming experience. #BoardGame #StrategyGame #Vediic Vediic is a strategic board game for 2-7 players that masterfully blends materialism with spirituality. It features elements of both competition cooperation. Players traverse the paths of the board, vying to strategically align with wandering planets. These planets shift from one house to another, usually triggering the activation of pawn positions and dispensing positive rewards through benefit cards that propel players forward. However, when planets transition into retrograde, their influences turn negative, impeding player progress and necessitating strategic maneuvers to avoid setbacks. The primary goal of the game is to skillfully navigate these celestial dynamics to accrue material gains in the form of benefit cards and make strategic donations, thereby earning enlightenment points. Players strive for the ultimate spiritual victory by elevating their pawns to higher levels of enlightenment through promotion or ascension. Thank you so much! Yasantha You can now pre order a copy at my Kickstarter campaign below. I do appreciate your support very much as it is my first venture of this sort.

Day 46 of 100 Days of Games of Chance in Kenya. The CSR from Games of Chance gave rise to the Non Governmental Organisation Movement in Kenya. Today’s article is from July 25th 1967. It talks about how the general public has ‘hardened’ to charity/contributions because of being bombarded by requests for cash contributions in the streets, restaurants, bus stops, offices and public spaces of major towns in the country. The article celebrates the structure of the Kenya Charity Sweepstakes and how the Kenya Government had formed the Kenya National Council for Social Services, which required all charitable bodies to register to it and which ensured there was no duplication of charities. Kenya Charity Sweepstakes in offering lotteries for purposes of funding charities - in my opinion - created an entire industry that we now know as Non Governmental Organisations who are primarily charity/not for profit and are governed by Non Governmental Organisations ( NGO) Board of Kenya. https://lnkd.in/dvqd5e5m
