About this Event
This workshop takes youth through a screening of the short animated film Release the Beasts and gives participants the space to playtest the Roblox game Rage Fighters (described in detail below). This event is designed for youth aged 10-15, especially Roblox fans. A Roblox sign in is required to participate. All youth must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Feedback will be requested from participants. Some filming will happen.
Release the Beast, An Animated Film (11 minutes), follows Aaron, a14-year-old aspiring game designer who is pushed to his breaking point by a bully. When his repressed anger finally snaps, his unfinished gaming character, "Stan," splinters into multiple rage-fueled incarnations — from a chaotic sticky-note sketch to a high-fidelity CG warrior — turning his bedroom into a psychological battlefield. Aaron must wrangle his runaway inner voices and decide if these "Stans" will destroy his life or help him finally level up.
Rage Fighters, A Roblox Game, transforms the themes of Release the Beast into a high-stakes "inner-world" combat experience. Players battle through multiple zones, facing enemies that represent Aaron’s real-world pressures. To survive the onslaught, players must manage a “Rage Meter” by mastering technical regulation skills: breathe, chill, and pause. This is a game that turns moments of rage into an opportunity to teach youth how to stay focused, ready, and in control.
