Our Values

Last updated: April 25, 2025

At Ludenwright, our values are the foundation of every world we build, every community we grow, and every experience we create.

We believe that games, and the communities around them, can be forces for radical creativity, belonging, and positive change.

Commitment to Equity and Inclusion

We are committed to creating spaces where everyone can thrive.
Ludenwright welcomes and supports people of all races, ethnicities, national origins, gender identities and expressions, sexual orientations, ages, abilities, body types, religious beliefs, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

We categorically reject racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, ageism, xenophobia, and all forms of discrimination, harassment, or exclusionary behavior.

Our commitment to equity means actively supporting marginalized and historically underrepresented groups within our community and within the broader field of game development.

Protection of Vulnerable Groups

We prioritize the safety, dignity, and agency of vulnerable and marginalized individuals.
We will not tolerate actions — explicit or implicit — that endanger, harm, silence, or diminish others.

When harm occurs, we listen first to those affected. We approach all concerns with empathy, confidentiality, and a dedication to restorative practices where possible.

Opt-In for Sensitive Content

We recognize that certain discussions — even when relevant to games and game development — may involve sensitive or potentially triggering topics.

At Ludenwright:

No one is required to engage with sensitive material unless they choose to.
We will provide content warnings and clear notices for discussions involving sensitive topics.
Participation in sensitive conversations will always be opt-in.

We value members' autonomy to choose how and when they engage, and we support creating spaces for reflection, pause, and care.

Appropriate Spaces for Sensitive Topics

Sensitive, complex, or controversial discussions are permitted only within designated channels or spaces clearly marked for such conversations — and only when directly related to games, storytelling, and creative work.

We believe serious discussions deserve intentional, focused environments.
We do not allow debates on sensitive societal issues outside of approved contexts, and off-topic controversial discourse is not permitted in general community spaces.

Fostering a Culture of Safety and Respect

Safety — emotional, psychological, and physical — is foundational to creative freedom.
At Ludenwright, we believe that everyone deserves to participate without fear of harassment, retaliation, or harm.

This commitment extends to:

Workshops and events
Online spaces and forums
Playtests and feedback sessions
All internal and external collaborations

We expect everyone who participates in Ludenwright spaces to actively contribute to a culture of consent, respect, and care.

Our Ongoing Commitment

Building an equitable, inclusive, and thriving creative community is an ongoing process — not a finished project.

We remain committed to learning, adapting, and improving in partnership with our members.

We welcome feedback, invite dialogue, and accept the responsibility of living up to the standards we set for ourselves.
