Long time no see Mastodon! Back on here to advertise myself and Mike Cook are co-organising the first Games and Archaeological Play (GAP) Workshop at FDG! The aim of the workshop is to bring together a broad range of researchers and practitioners who are interested in archaeology and games, from interpretive mechanics, puzzle design, games and play preservation, to reception studies, code archaeology and field studies. Let's bridge the gap between archaeology, game studies and HCI.

Short papers due April 5th, zines due June 10th!

@electricarchaeo Thanks so much Shawn, that's great to hear and it would be fantastic to have a summary of your students' responses! Would love to cite it in our future work on NBR/collaborate if you're interested

Attached: 1 image Call for Participants! As part of my PhD project on generative archaeology games, Iā€™m conducting a study on player responses to a short game about exploring an abandoned village. Anyone over 16 years old can take part, and the survey is 10 minutes long: https://tinyurl.com/4yjpfs8h (Please play on PC as the game is not mobile compatible) #archaeology #archaeogaming #gamedev #hci #roguelike
