A talk and gameplay show covering two games in progress - one made solo, one made with a team. Both games center queer protagonists who rebel against the systems they're trapped in. Post-Earth Explorer is a solo-developed 2D eco-fiction narrative game - humanity has left Earth and become immortal, while the planet keeps mutating on its own. You play as a rebel nonbinary biohacker sent back to research what's left of it - a post-natural, post-immortal world of mutation and toxicity. Players explore procedural toxic biomes plus a self-built AI backend that keeps generating new post-natural ecosystems and substances. Geostorm, where I work as narrative and game designer, is a narrative adventure built with age3000, an artist-led studio. Set in a techno-feudal world, it follows two young queer rebels - the Jester and the Clockmaker - pushing back against a system that has locked humanity out of its own future. Alongside the talk, expect live gameplay.

Martix Navrot is a doctoral candidate at the Academy of Fine Arts Krakow, researching open worlds and emergent narrative as models for possible realities, and a Młoda Polska 2026 fellow. They work between Berlin and Poland as a solo developer and as co-director of the artist-led studio age3000 (with Eliza Chojnacka) and the art duo Eternal Engine (with Jagoda Wójtowicz). Their work spans art games, interactive installations and commercial titles, with past exhibitions, lectures and collaborations including MSN Warszawa, Tate Liverpool, BFI London, LUX Scotland, CSW Zamek Ujazdowski and Porsche Scopes.
