How can you make games about paedophilic priests, unmanned drones in Afghanistan, Apples allegedly world-destroying smartphones and simulate running a McDonalds restaurant? With the motto ’Radical Games Against the Tyranny of Entertainment’, the one-man guerrilla-army Molleindustria has been pushing the limits of what games can express through political flash-games since 2003. He makes games with topics that are in explicit opposition to the mainstream video game industry.

Join us and go guerrilla with Molleindustria at SpilBar 13.0.
We will be back with more information when we get closer.

Join us for SpilBar 13.0 where the one-man-guerilla-game provocateur Paolo Pedercini, aka Molleindustria, will talk about how to create provocative guerilla games, which highlights the moral challenges in the world through not only their sound and graphics, but also their central game mechanics.
