Hapworks Takeover: A Yet Un-Foreclosed Possibility of Freedom and Joy

In this interactive talk, Niall Moody will talk about old game dev subcultures, lead everyone in the creation of a game using a 30 year old game engine, and argue for the necessity of spaces that do not revolve around 'hard work', 'success', or your ability to produce on demand.

Refreshments will be available, and there will be a selection of Pirate Karts and Klik & Play games to play after the talk.
