A Lot Of Great Games Will Never Win A Game Award
While the industry celebrated Clair Obscur several times over, we talked about the wonderful December releases that are more interesting than The Game Awards.

I just published a new article on simulation gaps and queer failure! In which I discuss Zugzwang, Chicory: A Colourful Tale and more, as well as their potential for queer game design. Available now in your local library (DM me if you want a copy). Enjoy! 🏳️‍🌈 www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edi...
First page of the article.

I gaze down at an aquamarine garden akin to a teenager playing some sort of god 
simulation game. The landscape is devoid of houses or roads. I move the cursor 
across an empty green field. With a click, patches of cobalt flowers sprout, flourish, 
and sparkle. Their mesmerising growth is accentuated by the melodic rings of crystalline wind chimes and strumming of acoustic guitar strings. I am playing We Dwell 
in Possibility (Yang/Davis 2021) by Robert Yang and Eleanor Davis. Three words 
materialise on the screen: ‘Cruise that utopia’.

✨ My first publication! Open access! doi.org/10.1177/1555... It is an expanded version of the research I presented at DiGRA Australia earlier this year in February, and it’s also a part of my PhD work. It focuses on how players explore and express gender through avatar customization.

Excited to share that I’ll be serving as the Student Officer for DiGRA over the next few years! As a PhD student, I’m deeply aware of the challenges and struggles faced by students and early-career researchers. I’ll do my best to use this opportunity to provide help and support to those who need it.
