Amatryx Exhibition: Creativity in the Time of COVID-19
August 25, 2023 @ 8:00 pm - September 30, 2023 @ 8:00 pm
As part of the exhibition’s opening night, the Amatryx Gaming Lab & Studio will also be launching the first full release of their current video game project, Trans Folks Walking. Trans Folks Walking (https://ubwp.buffalo.edu/amatryx/trans-folks-walking/) is a 3D, first person narrative game made with Unity that explores experiences of trans embodiment, being, and mobility. The game currently puts players in several situations drawn from the experiences of trans folks in contemporary America, ranging from the everyday such as using the bathroom through the particular such as being trans in a Christian church. The game creates space for trans folks to share their stories and for players to experience small parts of what it means to be trans. The game is intentionally designed as an anthology of short experiences that will grow in collaboration with trans people and their communities. The game will release on August 25, 2023 for PC and Mac on the game website itch.io, with a Steam release to follow.
