WAMP / Imagining Indigenous Worlds with Unity

This is the first edition of the online Imagining Indigenous Worlds with Unity workshop, where IIF partners AbTeC and Western Arctic Moving Pictures (WAMP) collaborated to host a workshop. Skins Associate Director Maize Longboat and Graduate RA Waylon Wilson served as instructors, with RA Kahentawaks Tiewishaw participating as an Instructor-in-Training. A total of eight Indigenous youth engaged with the game design technique of environmental storytelling to create their own unique narrative-driven explorable game worlds. The AbTeC Discord server continued to prove invaluable for creating virtual meeting spaces where live lessons were conducted and technical issues were troubleshot. Many participants described their experience in this Indigenous-led Unity workshop as empowering and now feel well positioned to continue to make games using Unity. Download the games on itch.io
