Tricon game changers

This helped me work with my peers to further extend help and support to new and upcoming developers. Jha is one of several volunteers behind Gamedev. Jha highlights Rajiv and Sunil as mentors, who have supported and guided much of his work over the years, and is keen to see more collaboration and connection between what he describes as the "small and very close knit community" of game developers in India.

We need more open spaces for developers to freely engage with and work out from. The last two years with the raging pandemic have been exceedingly difficult and alienating. More accessible hubs will go a long way in bringing developers together.

At six years old, Belgian developer Hannes Hauwaert was told he had a severe form of dyslexia. While this explained why he was struggling with learning how to read, it did not improve his approach; if anything, it deterred him from learning anything based around language.

As such, improving his reading ability took him years longer than his classmates. As an adult, he discovered through research that a similar lack of motivation can be a hindrance to other children's education. He began thinking about ways to encourage young people with dyslexia and other learning difficulties to push past the challenges they face, ways to make learning to read more enjoyable and less demotivating.

His solution was Karaton , an educational game for tablets that aims to improve players' reading and writing ability through a selection of mini-games. Our story started when I enlisted my very early stage idea to Telenet Kickstart, a Belgian start-up accelerator.

The premise is based around building a settlement on an abandoned tropical island. Each mini-game targets a different method of reading, such as letter-by-letter spelling there's a game in which you collect fruit with the correct letters to spell a word or understanding syllables players must cut trees marked with words into syllables to earn wood for their settlement.

Hauwaert's game managed to impress a number of people, including a range of educational institutes that have worked with him and his team on the project -- all of whom he would like to thank. In addition to growing Karaton, Hauwaert hopes to see the industry do more to work with academia, using video games to assist those with learning difficulties -- and those without, of course.
