SGA
ZERO answer to the survey I sent to our 9 most populated studios regarding the SGA nor any answer to the mail or contact through Discord.
BUT Maria, the head of the Sustainability in Games Alliance, has met with ProHelvetia's Luca Cannellotto at the Nordic Games, who said that there was a budget for these workshops and that they would like it to happen in the near future.
So if our members actually want any kind of workshop and can actually tell me what they're interested in, we can actually organize this at PH's expense relatively quickly.
Organizing these workshops soon can help provide the 100'000 euros needed by the Finnish government to match with 1'000'000 euros in funding.
Topics are:
-
Introductory workshop 50 Min Sustainability impacts of the games industry: Where do
-
Workshop 60 Min Emissions and Reporting Scope 1 and 2: A Practical Workshop for Game Studios
-
Workshop 60 - 80 Min Emissions and Reporting Scope 3: A Practical Workshop for Game Studios
-
Workshop 60 Min Embedding Sustainability into Company Culture and Game Development
-
Improving energy efficiency of games
Swiss Game Awards
The Numerik Games is stalling
Not sure it's going to be done with the Numerik Games association but there should be an event around this date anyway.
Should have some news by mid july - is this enough time to organize the rest ? What can we do before hand ? Is there a base budget for this ?
Fantasy Basel & Arcana
SGDA "Staff" badges or merch so that people under our booth can be recognized as such
Students would be interested to go to the Arcana festival and do the same thing
Game Dev Space
Few suggestions:
- Creating an SGDA Git forge that people can get projects on:
- free
- with example Unity and Godot projects
- with CI/CD available
- hosted in Switzerland, heating Geneva water
- Making workshops to teach about DevOps and its benefits using said forge as a support
Git forge could start at around 15CHF/month for SGDA with 100GB storage More realistically we should get a 50CHF/month VPS to cover for wider repos and long term usage
Any additional needs from participants are gathered here and then and raised to the board later to discuss how we should address them, either by:
- improving on the SGDA forge
- setting up custom forge for teams
- directly writing custom tests, tools or workflows for the teams
I think it would be fair to allocate some budget towards setting up team members on DevOps, as shown by the survey
Maybe ProHelvetia can help in that regard, just like they help with the SGA workshops. Also, DevOps support is akin to legal advice which we already provide
I'm the only one in Switzerland that is ready to provide that kind of service to our members
I'd be okay providing workshops and general bootstraping of our members for free but any more dedicated maintenance or help work I would like to be paid for 50CHF an hour
