So hey Aussie Gamer types. I will officially be speaking at the games development conference GCAP in Melbourne and am also booked to talk at PAX- and possibly be on one of the LGBTIQ panels.
This is a big deal for me.. though I have talked at buckets of games conferences all around the world, from SIGGRAPH to CHINAJoy! this will be the first time... as authentic me!
Yep, I am coming out to my whole industry as a transwoman, and walking out on stage dressed as the geek girl I actually am. Make-up, skirt, stockings, boots and yes, Kaylee, a cute top. Plus, hey, possibly a streak of purple in my hair if my fringe gets long enough and the nose ring I always wanted.
So I would love my trans sisters and brothers to swing on by, say hi, and represent! I could use all the encouragment and support I can get.
I will be talking about using the new 3D software Modo for games, and at Pax probably doing something like 'Genderplay: Simple ways to saving lives with your games' or creature design.
