Games Bagus!

Games Bagus is an initiative by the U.S. Embassy Kuala Lumpur, in collaboration with Biji-biji Initiative and Synapze, which aims to empower Malaysian game creators to produce socially conscious video games by honing their game design and narrative skills through training and mentorship, providing valuable networking opportunities, and exploring issues of social importance and civic engagement.

We managed to catch up with both Lindsay and Margaret during their flying visit to KL, so that we can hear a little about the initiative, the future of gaming, and how SEA fits into the map of the global gaming network.
