The Community Game Development Toolkit / The Raisin Truck Makes Raisins // Daniel Lichtman

The Community Game Development Toolkit is a set of tools that make it easy and fun for students, artists, researchers and community members to create their own visually rich, interactive 3D environments and story-based games without the use of coding or other specialized game-design skills.

The Raisin Truck Makes Raisins (created using the Community Game Development Toolkit) is a collaboratively produced, 3D game that uses collage, spatial orientation/disorientation and chaotic visual abstraction to reflect on the experience of caring for young children during pandemic and lockdown. Scenes in the game are produced with care-takers from a variety of family configurations and economic situations.
