(video) Chatting about Game Dev, Comics, Passion Creative Industries in South Africa
I was invited by Openroom.tv to a livestream show Baxoxe with Ray Whitcher!
If you’re a TL;DR kinda person, you can watch the full show here:

Baxoxe is a creative chit chat show that showcases and highlights creatives throughout South Africa - to show South African creatives the diversity that exists in the South African creativescape. (you know, other than advertising)
For the show, I prepared a Pecha Kucha (a presentation format focussed on conciseness - 20 slides, 20 seconds each) speaking about game design theory and what game design and development and communities are all about in SA. It was perhaps a bit over-ambitious as I went into rattle mode, sang a little song, and attempted some Xhoza clicking, but you can be the judge of that 🙂
We also had a blast answering live twitter questions, had a creative quiz-out (chickens DID cross the road), and generally had a lot of fun in the freezing Greenside cold. Ray was wearing shorts. That puzzled me.
Ray spoke about the comic industry in SA in general, and we discuss how we all should be pushing our passion industries forward.
A big thanks to Odd Cafe for the fantastic venue, the boys and gals of Baxoxe for the invite and organisation, and Openroom.TV for the excellent production. It ran like mice who were not blind in the least 🙂 Baxoxe is a great initiative and I certainly look forward to their future shows!
How are you doing with your passion industry?
