Troy is one of Streamcast’s co-founders. Streamcast is made of four gaming content creators hoping to share and create an industry where Streamcast and its community belongs. Troy brings a wealth of design, photography and marketing knowledge to the Streamcast brand. He’s worked with major brands such as Arla, Adidas, Xbox and Kellogg’s evaluating their campaigns, as well as a freelancer for small business for 10 years. He has a passion for action platformers like Ratchet and Clank and would love to see more young people from his background understand the roles in gaming and feel if they do decide to work in the industry they will belong. He would also love to help push stories from the diaspora in gaming as it’s one of the most immersive and entertaining mediums out there.

From this talk as well as highlighting some of the issues, you will come away with new ways that you can truly embrace and champion diversity.

Develop always gets put in the diary. There are many reasons to be here, not just the talks, but the networking, people exchanging ideas about where the industry is right now and where it’s going to. It’s pretty essential to be here I think.

Develop is a really great way to network, it’s also great for going to talks and finding that little tip that you didn’t know before and thinking – oh I’ll bring that back to the team!

Building games is hard and it’s taxing physically, mentally and emotionally. So being around a community that understands that is great – there’s a comraderie here.
