A blog about game design and development & randomness.
Duncan Fyfe and I wrote a blog post last month about the sheer inability of game journalists to do any research at all, unless it’s meticulously scrubbing a video game trailer for hidden clues pertaining to the game’s backstory, or something equally silly. We proposed that the only way to truly engage a game journalist was to build them an ARG.
If you thought that was meant to be some kind of “tongue-in-cheek satire” with no connection to reality, you really need to see this.
Hey, my name is Marek Bronstring and I'm Head of Content at Sega. You're looking at my rarely-updated game design blog. I think this sidebar needs some more text so let me tell you what my top favorite animals are: 1) meerkats 2) mimic octopuses 3) miniature horses (particularly when used as assistance animals).
Excellent gaming podcast hosted by some of my friends in the US. Intelligent yet meme-tastic... check it out.
Well the case thing worked, now didn’t it? At least the developers are doing their research
I read your post with Duncan and thought it was brilliant - spot on. Keep up the good work.
Best,
