\n<\/span>Political key events<\/b>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n\n
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Firstly, the general assembly reviewed the SGDA\u2019s activities in 2018. Alongside yearly efforts, such as the Swiss Game Awards, exhibitions and meet-ups, many new activities joined the list. This list includes the Enter The Game event at NIFFF, an event to show career options in Switzerland, the Interactive Storytellers series with a final event in partnership with the Museum of Digital Art (MuDA) and Creative Zurich, as well as the SGDA New Reality Space where new technologies like AR and VR are explored.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Elections<\/b><\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/p>\n\n
\n<\/b>Furthermore, a project group was formed to explore possible regulations of game design to compile a resource for members that tackles topics such as best practices for loot boxes. International resources will be reviewed and neighbouring disciplines such as psychology, neuroscience and legislation will come together.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>To create a shared set of values throughout the association and the Swiss game industry in general, the SGDA will compile a code of conduct as general foundation for the members which acts as guidance for start-ups and seasoned game developers alike.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.sgda.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/GM_2018-3-1024x552.png\")
