A Night Out: Designing a Transformational Video Game to Promote Awareness Towards LGBTQ + Violence

’A Night Out’ is a transformational video game designed and developed with the aim of raising awareness of hate crimes towards the LGBTQ+ population in Denmark. With the goal of contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal of equality, we developed this hand-drawn pixel graphics, custom-made music and audio video game, with gameplay inspired by the classic arcade game Tetris. The game was pilot-tested on ten young adults and showed positive results from testing.
