Our goal of celebrating Inclusivity

Games are a rich, expansive medium that allows players to explore the possibilities of other realms and realities. Diversity in these stories, mechanics, and environments allows players to become enriched and inspired by these games and the stories within them. Inclusive game design empowers players who are often underrepresented and shows that the presence and perspectives of different groups of people are valued. We have chosen inclusivity as the main goal for this game jam to encourage us all to reflect upon the diversity of our global community and how we can take an active role in making our world more welcoming for all.

At Backtrace, one of our core principles is to celebrate and encourage inclusivity. We strive to build a diverse and thriving community of game developers that we want to challenge, showcase and grow in this Game Jam. Backtrace helps developers by identifying and reporting their bugs through error data. We hope to use this jam as an opportunity to engage and grow our game developer community, and to show that Backtrace is a very valuable, easy to use tool for all game developers!
