Games and news bricks: storytelling ideas from Hackastory Credit: Screenshot from Hackastory.com. Turning online stories into games and personalising the experience were two of the themes explored at the Hackastory hackathon in Amsterdam last week. The hackathon brought together six teams of journalists, developers, designers and filmmakers, who explored ideas and tools for storytelling in the digital age. “Online storytelling does not have a tradition yet,” wrote the organisers on the website, comparing it to filmmaking, which has had 100 years to develop a structure and a process. Journalist and documentary filmmaker Albertine Piels, one of the organisers of the hackathon, said the hackathon was intended as an opportunity not only to experiment with tools but also to connect with others in the industry. “We all know how to write a story and how to make a reportage for a TV show, but with online storytelling you need so much more,” she said.

First-person psychological puzzler Antichamber comes to Steam on Jan. 31 Antichamber, a first-person psychological puzzler by Australian independent developer Alexander Bruce, will release on Steam on Jan. 31 after four years in full-time development. The Escher-inspired exploration game that throws hundreds of topsy-turvy, mind-bending puzzles at the player has already won numerous accolades including the 2012 Independent Games Festival award for Technical Excellence, the Freeplay 2011 award for Best Game and Best Design, was the winner of PAX10 in 2011 and was a finalist at IndieCade and DICE. Speaking to Polygon, Bruce says Antichamber took as long as it did to develop because he didn't want to follow established game design conventions, which meant for much of the game's development he was learning as he was creating. "There's no roadmap for how to effectively create a game like Antichamber," Bruce says.
