@AdriaandeJongh it feels like itch has a worse profit margin than Steam - they host a bunch of free/web based games, they have better support, they have more games added per day, they can't negotiate deals with payment processors because of huge volume, and they have less revenue for fixed costsPermalink Look on archive.org

"value engineering" sounds so boring, and so isn't. all the branding on the toiletries is done with the inkjet printers they use for best before dates. incredibly cheap, and unique per item. so instead of a shiny label there's the subscriber's name & cryptic microcopy.Permalink Look on archive.org

and like, you can see that as a rip-off, if you like, this is all about increasing margins... but honestly it's not like you derive more value from UV spot printing on the box that your deodorant stick comes in.Permalink Look on archive.org

another pitch that i always think about when i think about videogame pitches is the KS video for Sealark kickstarter.com/projects/1338986832/sealark-an-oceanic-adventure-game it's just a such a pure fantasy. what's the game about? feeling like *this*Permalink Look on archive.org

both of these threads, to a greater or lesser extent, take it for granted that the aim is to make the fictional world of the game real for a player. I don't think this is a bad goal, but I don't think it's the only one.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
This is also an interesting thread that I am in turn quote-RTing a thread so I can talk about it and the original thread (which is about the effects of repeated dialogue in games, and says that that reduces immersion) @mcclure111/1074701371172098048Permalink Look on archive.org
-
do these things make me feel like the fictional world is more real? not really? maybe? are they a pleasurable part of the game experience? yes, for sure. there's something about expectation and payoff, repeated elements at particular intervals that is a particular pleasure of vgsPermalink Look on archive.org
-
I am thinking (although videogames are, in a great many ways, not games, so you can take this too far) of children's playground games, which are often more about chanting and ritual than they are about fiction, or even the interplay of rules.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
but I can think of videogames where the drilled-in repetition of lines, or speech, or acts was a primary pleasure. the over the top delivery of "STREET FIGHTER EX (plus alpha)". Francis York Morgan tapping his chest, his tics and asides to Zach. The yah-ha! when you find a Korok.Permalink Look on archive.org

(which I think is connected to, but not quite the same, as Andi's point about abstraction & compression as techniques when telling stories)Permalink Look on archive.org

@caraellison no! we must make a science of this!

-
@mcclure111 I generally agree, and very much love especially the weird feeling of transitioning from one space to another. But! I am struck by how these spaces are able to coexist, how the ritual space can layer on and augment the "real" world.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@mcclure111 like, playing tabletop RPGs and larps well is all about this duality of mind - both existing within the fiction and thinking about the direction of the fiction, giving others space to shape it, etc. Playground games don't block out an awareness of how long is left of recess.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@mcclure111 And from a videogame perspective, I used that word "immersion" deliberately - I think my thing might cut against the grain of immersion? This can be comforting habit, the reassuring ba-bling of the Nintendo logo on a gameboy (which, yes, is also a marker of entering ritual space)Permalink Look on archive.org

I want to read the @emshort blog post talking about the experience of using the Netflix "Branch Manager" interactive TV authoring tool. www-wired-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.wired.com/story/black-mirror-bandersnatch-interactive-episode/amp?amp_js_v=a2&_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQECAFYAQ%3D%3D#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From%20%251%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wired.com%2Fstory%2Fblack-mirror-bandersnatch-interactive-episode%2FPermalink Look on archive.org

I assumed it was pure CYOA, based on 10 minutes with "Puss In Boots" earlier this year. But this says it has some state tracking (ie variables)? I am delighted to see some subtlety in the models of IF they're using.Permalink Look on archive.org

(of course, the problem is you still just have a shitton of expensive TV-quality footage for every permutation you open up... maybe in future a show will do procedurally generated CG footage for different permutations)Permalink Look on archive.org

@infovore @prehensile yeah, basically I'm imagining that kind of thing, but automating the work flow so you can have thousands of those kind of variants, rather than just a few.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@infovore @prehensile but also, yes, actually watching the thing definitely feels like workPermalink Look on archive.org

I have also made this shift. The reason it's important to do is not because it's nicer, but because it's a better way of understanding how you could do something about it if you were involved. @uxresearch/1079148047257395200Permalink Look on archive.org

@acgodliman @gritfish @netflix this is a bit backwards. Netflix has been trying to do IF stuff for yonks, Brooker was just the first person who went along with it, and managed to get the thing out the door (in a way that people have noticed - Puss In Boots came out months ago)Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@acgodliman @gritfish @netflix Brooker is a great choice, as he hits a rare enough combo of being a hot showrunner & knowing games pretty well. But "a hot showrunner" is definitely the more critical aspect there.Permalink Look on archive.org

I think the fuss about Twine/Bandersnatch is a bit overplayed? Or at least - Twine is the go-to prototyping tool for simple choice-based narrative. The bit at the start of Firewatch, Ryan North's CYOAs, I am sure many AAA games...Permalink Look on archive.org
-
Now, it definitely does suck that a free tool supported by love & sweat is used on projects that have made millions (most open source is basically a nightmare if you think about this bit too long). But it's another thing to say that Twine was crucial to their success.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
And Twine-as-a-tool is a bit separate to Twine-as-a-community. You can definitely see places that community has been used as unpaid R&D for the industry, and honestly that sucks even worse... but I'm not sure that's the case here. I would welcome corrections on this point!Permalink Look on archive.org
-
(but yes, please, give the people who made Twine such a vibrant scene some money, and see what they can do when they're not working with a platform with the main selling point of being usable when you don't have time or money)Permalink Look on archive.org
-
But yeah - Netflix still built out a whole other tool for actually authoring this stuff (presumably at the editing stage rather than the script stage). It's still basically a Black Mirror episode with some jiggery-pokery.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@mode7games as someone who once wrote a workflow in order to use Twine as an editor for an entirely different model of interactive narrative, I agree. If you're not leaning into the classic hypertext model then it stops being that useful past the prototyping stage.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@mode7games but if you're still prototyping, then it's really hard to beat it being free and easy to get going with. and if you look at the Wired piece, it was most crucial... during the outlining stagePermalink Look on archive.org
-
wait, actually, one more tweet. I used the past tense there, because Twine is definitely more of a tool than a scene these days. For a good immersion in what made that scene so interesting and important, I would recommend to you this book, Videogames For HumansPermalink Look on archive.org
