I'll start us off --

Hey there, I'm Andy Hall, the developer behind TestTubeGames, where I make a bunch of games about science. I also help out here at ScienceGameCenter. I'm looking forward to having some great discussions with you all!

Now it's your turn. Who are you, and why are you here?

Hi Andy!

I am Melanie Stegman, owner of Molecular Jig Games and founder of the Science Game Center. I really want your help bringing attention to all these neat learning games. Teachers students and scientists alike are looking for them! I bet you have some stories and opinions to share. Did a game teach you something or did a game make it easier for you to read a science article later?

I make Immune Defense and I test for whether our game increases knowledge and confidence. It does and I bet many of these games do... Tell us what you think.

My name is David Ehret, owner of Sunfleck Software. I'm a recently retired botanist turned indie game dev, so my first game, Solarium, is about plants. Who would have guessed that? I have a passion for science education, and given the ubiquitous nature of video games in society, feel that it they are an increasingly important vehicle for science education.

Hello, my name is Benjamin Good and I love games with a purpose! I work at Scripps Research in San Diego California on many things, including efforts to solve computing problems related to biomedical discovery with the help of citizen scientists and gamers (and I consider those two groups to be overlapping). One of my favorite games in this space is Phylo and our group has created a few lesser games such as The Cure.

So, hello!

Hi! My name is Wick Perry. I got interested in neural circuits during my undergrad. I released a space-shooter game, but want to make games that do more interesting things & have wider appeal than to just "gamers", so am now taking a shot at making a neuroscience-based creature creation game called Crescent Loom.

...and I'm launching a Kickstarter for it in, like, a week! @_@
Here's a trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90ZoNN0nXRk

Anyway, I think games are really well-suited to explore the sorts of dynamics that crop up in biology (where lots of stuff is just too flipping small to see well).

Hi Wick - welcome! And thanks for sharing your game - looks neat! Signing up for your email list so I can hear all about that KS campaign. Good luck!
