Eyeo 2018 – Jane Friedhoff<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jane Friedhoff is an intellectual researcher and game developer. She focuses on exploring new mediums and creating new and usual relationships between people.She creates power fantasy games that give power to those who are not powerful. All her games give power to groups that were not typically powerful in power fantasies. Her inspiration came from the era of riot girl and riot girl games which use rules to and mechanics to value what the rest of the world doesn’t. Jane focuses on creating a desired world and internal catharsis or emotional experience rather than education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She presents in a very engaging and captivating way; she shows her games as images and videos of gameplay while she describes her concepts. Her presentation was interesting to me because after hearing her concept, her games had a new meaning and connected in a storyline that made a lot of sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
