Random Mileages: Trial by fire: Vesuvio (part 1)

http://randommiles.blogspot.com/2011/01/trial-by-fire-vesuvio-part-1.html

January 26, 2011. Trial by fire: Vesuvio (part 1). It was a little game I designed for the Game Design Challenge. Blog, but ultimately, one I never tested. Now, it's one year later, and I'm due to go to Cannes' International Game Festival. As a fledgling author. I have two other games under my belt (both unedited prototypes), but I wanted an even 3, and Vesuvio had been deemed interesting at the time. Well, guess what? It wasn't. At least, the first time we played. There are 40 squares. 15 Green ( 6 Flint.

Random Mileages: Minecrafting, deeper and deeper

http://randommiles.blogspot.com/2010/09/minecrafting-deeper-and-deeper.html

September 22, 2010. Minecrafting, deeper and deeper. It all started with these. Actually, that's not exactly right. I tried the Minecraft Classic a while ago, but did not really "get it". Well, with the free weekend (too late, sorry), I finally caved in (haha) and went into Minecraft. So, stranded on this strange land, and finding the grisly remains of 3 people would were looking just too much like me to be comfortable, I went in search for a dwelling before night settled. I had no sense of time. So, t'w...

Praxis: Moving notice!

http://praxisgamereviews.blogspot.com/2010/04/moving-notice.html

I have grown frustrated with Blogger and moved this blog over to WordPress. The new address is http:/ linehollis.wordpress.com/. 4/29/10, 2:13 PM. Grown frustrated with Blogger? Mmmhh, unless Blogger changed a whole lot in the last few years, I cant see why. Oh, and wordpress.coms dashboard is infinitely better. Now that I think about it, yeah, I can see why you might be fed up with Blogger, though you might get fed up with wordpress.com too eventually, but for different reasons. What Praxis is all about.

Praxis: Conversation in Games: Trigger, Branch, Repeat

http://praxisgamereviews.blogspot.com/2010/04/conversation-in-games-trigger-branch.html

Conversation in Games: Trigger, Branch, Repeat. Why is there so little variety in conversation systems in games? This is a variation on basic response triggering in which each response opens up a new set of triggers. This allows for conversations with a temporal progression and usually involves choices about the direction the dialogue takes. These two mechanics are related, but they reflect two different models of how conversation works, so I think it makes sense to distinguish them. In Mass Effect.

About | Critical Game Studies

https://criticalgamestudies.wordpress.com/about

Exploring game criticism, design, and interpretation. This blog contains course information for classes on critical game studies I teach. Currently, I am running Art History 3000-004 – Art History of Videogames. Or is it in the game as a whole? What is needed for a game to qualify as art and how do we study games as such? Critical Game Studies is a term borrowed from David Thomas. On October 24, 2010 at 10:21 pm. Just got here and I am already a fan! On October 4, 2011 at 10:53 pm. Enter your comment here.
