Lily Gaming
Cary Polachek
This article is part of the Never Give In campaign, where 21 young Cardiffians were commissioned to create a piece of art showing how gaming affects their mental health. This is the story of Lily, a 12-year-old artist who was part of the project.
The inspiration behind my artwork is that me, my dad and my brother used to play Pokmon Sword and Shield we called it poki-partying. It took place every Saturday. We would play and eat sweets and overall have a great time!
Playing with my family helped my mental health so much because it was a time I got to relax and talk with my dad and brother. My sketch was a school doodle that I transferred into Procreate to create my finished piece.

E. Lily Yu: I was a writer on Destiny at Bungie from 2012 to 2013 and a freelancer with them for parts of 2014, a remote collaborator for Tale of Tales on an unreleased game in 2013, and shortly expect to join a VR dev team. Bungie sought me out on the strength of my prior work.
Robert Reed: Destiny is my one credit, and Bungie is my only employer in the vast gaming business. They sought me out back when their game was still called Tiger. Apparently, my space opera novels Marrow and Sister Alice were what piqued their interest. After I signed 200,017 pieces of legal paper, they began to teach me about their universe and about video games in general. Which was fun, I should say. More than I ever would have guessed. And once given a sense of their story, I tried to offer suggestions and critical comments, and now and again, I wrote words that eventually made it into the game.
E. Lily Yu: I should add that when we say that Bungie sought us out, we all mean Eric Raab, who came to Bungie from an editing position at Tor and has been critical in bringing science fiction writers to the company.
Robert Reed: In my case, I was called by Eric at the beginning, but he still worked at Tor. He was a facilitator in a process mostly invisible to me. It was Joseph Staten who took me out for dancing and drinks, which means that he came to Lincoln to give me the pitch. Joseph was the face of my Bungie during that first year, and then Eric arrived.
For me, working for Bungie means visiting about once a year, absorbing what I can over several days, and then flying home with one or several assignments. I work best at home, in a familiar and well-lit environment. Bungie is neither familiar nor well-lit, and three days usually leaves me craving even the weakest Seattle sunshine.
Fury built a new set of behaviors that made enemies much smarter and much more self-caring. They put a lot more effort into saving themselves. Players stopped seeing them as obstacles to swat, and started respecting them as enemies, fearing them as predators, and feeling sorry for them when they ran and tried to live. That mechanical change altered our whole approach to mission design. We could put the player up against small groups of smart antagonists with the illusion of social behavior. And that, in turn, saved our whole story.
Games conjure up the power of the situation by letting the player act out motivations and fears. Games are pretty cool. (At Chicago and NYU we used a very simple game to model racial bias in police shootings, and it was frighteningly effective.)
E. Lily Yu: First question is tough because of the variety of work I and most game writers have done, everything from multilingual naming to reference documentation for third parties to Kickstarter reward tiers, and because narrative design is a continuous, collaborative process. Generally, I try to understand the purpose and desired effect of whatever is on the table, which designers or artists are directly involved and what their different visions are, what is technically feasible and what is not, and how costly different options are in terms of time and resources. From this, in close consultation with whoever else is involved, I come up with multiple pitches that take into account the overall tone and arc of the project and the various ideas, requests, and suggestions from other people, narrow them down after feedback, and revise based on continued feedback.

Jumping on the Lily Pads is an example of a number path game that can be played as a board game or in a larger version on the floor. Children take turns rolling their die and moving their frog token along a path of evenly spaced, numbered lily pads leading to a pond. The goal is to be the player whose frog reaches the pond first.
Playing the game on a life-size board, where children do the jumping from one numbered space to another, helps them better understand number paths and get excited about board games. Having children be the tokens that jump on the number path provides an ideal context for learning how to count on from the number they are standing on.
Counting on (instead of counting from 1) is hard and takes practice! It is especially hard for adults who are used to counting from 1 each time they move on a game board. Make sure to give yourself time to practice before introducing this to children.

Your votes did influence who made it to the finals! Despite losing in week two against Bobby Plays and NoahFromYoutube, LilyPichu advanced to the finals by votes. The other most-voted players to the finalists are Sykkuno, Valkyrae and kkatamina.
After battling it out against three other influencers, LilyPichu's success in the finals brought about the defeat of fellow Wildcard Series finalist kkatamina and ended the winning streak from week one's victors BenTimm1 and Orange Juice. By strategically saving her last UNO wildcard, Lily Pichu took home the solid gold UNO wildcard.
