With over 30 years of experience in digital media as a
geographer and culturalization strategist, and 27+ years in games, Kate Edwards has been involved in the creation
of many games, including major titles such as Halo, Fable, Age of Empires, Mass Effect, Call of Duty,
and many, many others. She has seen it all when it comes to geopolitical and cultural issues that are often overlooked
in content creation and can negatively affect the ability of content to be accepted overseas, and she has seen designers miss
opportunities to create more robust worlds that engage the players from diverse cultural backgrounds. Kate will
discuss the field of content culturalization and how it can assist game creators with building better game worldsthat
account for a wider range of cultural and geopolitical considerations.
