Agence Française pour le Jeu Vidéo Superstruct This Might Be a Game Jane McGonigal Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World (9781594202858): Jane McGonigal Y'a pas que les jeux vidéo dans la vie ! Vous êtes nombreux (et je vous en remercie c’est sympa) à regretter que, depuis quelques mois, mes publications se fassent rares sur ce blog. La vie d’un game designer est faite de cycles. Il y a des périodes pour la réflexion, l’échange et les recherches, et puis il y a les périodes de production qui laissent beaucoup moins de temps à la prise de parole. C’est le cas pour moi. Ce jeu, co-produit avec Orange, sortira en fin d’année, en Europe puis aux Etats-Unis. En attendant, voici un premier teaser, juste pour patienter... Illustrations : photo de repérage.

Henry Jenkins ... WHAT IS HIDDEN IN SNOW ... The Beast (game) An ARG is a game which deliberately blurs the line between the game and the real world. Players investigate the world of the game using the same tools with which they interact with the real world such as websites, email, telephone conversations and even in-person discussions with actors playing game characters. The mantra of The Beast, and most other ARGs, is "This is not a game." When a player reads a character's blog, or looks at his employer's website, or even speaks to him on the phone, the character never indicates that he is anything but what the game says he is, whether that's a professor of biology, a kidnapped child, a DP artist, or a robot bounty hunter. The Beast was set in the year 2142, 50 years after the events chronicled in A.I. Each rabbit hole led to questions about Jeanine Salla, especially since one would not expect a film made in 2001 to require the services of a robotherapist. At this point the player joins the investigation into Evan's death.
