Amatryx Gaming Lab & Studio

This itch.io page is the home of Cody Mejeur's games and games made by the Amatryx Gaming Lab & Studio at the University at Buffalo. 

Cody Mejeur (They/Them) is Assistant Professor of Media Study at University at Buffalo, SUNY, and Director of the Amatryx Gaming Lab & Studio there. Their work uses games to theorize narrative as an embodied and playful process that constructs how we understand ourselves, our realities, and our differences. They are currently the game director for Trans Folks Walking, a narrative game about trans experiences coming out later this year.

Amatryx Gaming Lab & Studio (AGLS) is a lab in the Department of Media Study at University at Buffalo dedicated to gaming, virtual reality, social justice, and community storytelling projects. The lab combines cutting edge research on games, culture, and narrative with development projects in analogue, digital, and virtual reality games. Amatryx is committed to the diverse exploration of social justice narratives with intersectional queer and feminist values, such as antinormativity, relationality, coalitionality, and resistance. Here we think critically about play and narrative as means for imagining more equitable and transformative futures. We strive to act ethically and with integrity as we interact with and empower our members and the communities we aim to serve.
