This interview appeared in Turkish in Velvele on August 27, It was translated into English by Öykü İnal. She returned neither to Istanbul nor to her PhD. She worked as a designer in a game studio in Berlin and did freelance work in between. A year and a half ago she founded her own game studio Food for Thought Media. Serenad, who is interested in video games and gender, and who also works academically in this field, realised her idea of a game that she had dreamed of years ago in the middle of the pandemic with the contributions of experts and activists in the field. What was the process after you decided to build the game? How did you set up the team? How did you decide who would be on the team? Tell us a bit about it. Some of our team had built an educational game for children before we started our process. I have been interested in gender, gender identities and computer games for a long time. At first, as five women in the game industry, we decided to combine our expertise in different fields and make a game like this. Because we always thought that there was a lack of education on these issues in digital media. Later on, our team welcomed activists who were working on these issues, academics, who studied this topic, and many other people who loved the project, as consultants or writers. The team actually developed and took shape in a somewhat organic way. And it turned out well. Financing the game was probably the most challenging part. I remember you starting a fundraising campaign. How did this work out? We used the technological infrastructure of the game I mentioned above and got some funding from Medienboard Berlin Brandenburg a funding organisation based in Berlin and Brandenburg which financially supports film and visual projects and if your project is financially successful, you pay back the funding received. We also decided that a game like this needed to be voice acted, which required a huge additional budget. So we launched a crowdfunding campaign. Our Parents Organise Poker Games To Pay For Daughters Education Movie helped us make these additions and changes. In the meantime, a foundation working in the field of sexual and reproductive health in Turkey learned about our project and supported us to localize the game and translate it into Turkish. You just said Parents Organise Poker Games To Pay For Daughters Education Movie you met with activists and some of them joined the team. Why was the contribution of activists important for you and the game at a time when anti-activism is on the rise? We received consultancy and support from many people and groups throughout the entire creation and production process. They supported us in producing educational content, in the creative process, and in the publicity of our campaign. We have worked and we are still working with groups and individuals who have the skills and enthusiasm to run these workshops with us. Activists are also included in these groups because we care about the words and actions of people who have been working for many years on issues such as equality, justice and inclusion. The people in the main cast of this team also come from different struggles. So we are grateful to each and every one of them for their contributions and we see ourselves as part of the ongoing struggles and we are proud of that. What is she like? Why did you choose Sibel? For us, it was clear that the main character would be a young girl even before we spoke to each other. When we first talked about it, everyone said they had thought about the same thing laughs. Although there have been more female protagonists in video games in recent years, they are still far outnumbered by male protagonists. There are also very few or no protagonists from non-binary and other gender identities. Considering that we live in Berlin and the Turkish population here, we honestly thought that having the German daughter of a Turkish immigrant family as the main character would be remarkable in many ways, and it would raise awareness.
