Coding Medieval Worlds 6 will be on February 20-22, 2026!A core challenge of making more interesting medieval worlds in game formats is sharing and building the different processes needed to create them. Historians and game developers have different ways of representing, exploring and constructing the material we get from medieval sources. How, then, should we approach this, and how can we share and synthesise our different methods? How do we take the particular affordances of games and engines and how do we develop mechanics and systems to best present historically inspired material in them? Coding Medieval Worlds 6 is a workshop and discussion forum for sharing developers' and historians' perspectives and finding solutions to these shared problems!When:Main Sessions 21th-22nd Feb 2026, 1pm — 8pm CET
Evening Events 20th, 21st, 22nd Feb 8:30pm-10pm CET
