General Discussion :: My blog & storytelling in games

Hey all! After the competition I was inspired to write an article for my blog and I thought I'd post a link to it here.

http://aitchesongames.blogspot.com/2010 ... point.html

It's about how narrative in games has become more important than it really should be, and story-centric games miss the point of what games as a medium has to offer by attempting to emulate literature and cinema.

Any comments are welcome, and feel free to disagree with me!

The reason it's not on Thursday is because there are a lot of coursework deadlines for Friday unfortunately.

Oh, I thought this would be on the Thursday. I probably can't make it on Friday: I'll still be visiting then but it's my friend's birthday.

Probably not, unfortunately. I realised straight after the exec meeting that we're having a bunch of people round my house that evening. (And I probably can't afford it anyway...)

We planning to have an end of term meal on Friday 19th of March at 8pm at Wing Wah, a Chinese restaurant in Coventry. As far as I know they have got a good buffet, so everybody should be able to find something
It is quite close to Uni and not hard to find, so it should not be too difficult to get there.
If you would like to come just post below so we know how many people to expect (and reserve a table for the right number of people).

Hi guys, those of you who are going food shopping... if you want to bring nescafe or something like that, that would be great, because I was serious when I said I would bring my kettle. I will be bringing my kettle, as many mugs as I can fit in my suitcase, a couply of teabags and probably my water filter, but I doubt that I have got enough for everybody.

General Discussion :: Meeting Tonight

As discussed in the workshop the meeting tonight will be what we usually do at the start of the 48 hours comp since quite a few people are not there from the start i.e. deciding groups and passing ideas around for game ideas. This is so that teams can start from the beginning of the competition time even if all their teammates aren't there. Therefore if you are going to be participating in the 48 hour competition you:

o Need to be at the meeting tonight
OR
o Post in this forum thread that you are going to be at the 48 hour comp and at what times. From that you may end up being given a group from what we know for sure.

As for everyone else who is not participating in the competition we will still be having our social after the meeting takes place.

Sure. Any talk is a good talk. If you aren't up to doing it on Thursday it's not a problem but it would be great if you would like to give it then because I'm think we don't have a talk set up for this week.

It's because you all suck.

philh wrote:Are you offering to give one?

Do you have something you want to ask me to talk about?

Note: I don't really have time to write a talk (I don't really have time to take next weekend off to make a game either). Having said that, one of the items on my "things to write" list is "Learning through failure: why you're probably not making enough games". Would that be something you'd be interested in hearing either this week or sometime next term?
