GAME DESIGN BEYOND SCREENS & JOYSTICKS
Keyboards, mice and twin stick pads constitute an overwhelming majority of game controlling devices, while displays and speakers monopolize the rendering ones. Despite its obvious economic and ergonomic virtues, the standardization of physical interfaces closes creative doors and conceals a whole field of possibilities. Beyond screens and joysticks lies a world begging to be explored. There is a marginal but increasing number of games that forges ahead and breaks new ground in various fields from arcades to the ALT CTRL movement, escape rooms and new technologies based games. This talk will call into question the part of the game experience that is happening in the physical space, often taken for granted because based on generic devices and then attempt to chart this new territory with a UX design compass and Human-Machine Interaction's tools.

Indie studio Cardboard Computer drew up a simple outline for their magical realist adventure game Kentucky Route Zero, but over the nearly 8-year development process they found themselves lost in a twisty maze of passages, all different. In this Kentucky Route Zero postmortem, Cardboard Computer co-founders Jake Elliott and Tamas Kemenczy will lead a guided tour back through these electronic tunnels and nocturnal highways, paying special attention to the little detours and dead-end tunnels.
Jake Elliott is co-founder of Cardboard Computer, where he is a writer, programmer, and designer on the game Kentucky Route Zero. His work is characterized by playful text, reflective pacing, and human-scale drama. He has taught videogame design, programming, and experimental animation at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, DePaul University and Northwestern University. He lives in central Kentucky.

Personagem criado para projeto de jogo interativo. Projeto idealizado por: Ricardo Graça, Bruno Cochito, Marcus Pinto e Ceciliane Dias
Im diesjährigen Weihnachtsworkshop in Wels wurden, gemeinsam mit Schülern des MRG Fadingerstraße Linz, die Grundlagen der Open-Source 3D Modelliersoftware Blender behandelt und fliegende Inseln für das Spiel 'Fragment Planet' modelliert, sowie texturiert.
'Fragment Planet' ist ein Echtzeitstrategiespiel von Simon Stix, in dem die Erde auf der Suche nach einer neuen Energiequelle vernichtet wurde. Die Überlebenden der Katastrophe bewegen sich mithilfe von Fluggeräten zwischen Fragmenten der alten Welt und bauen auf ihnen trostlose Städte und Militärbasen. Der Stil des Spiels ist eine Mischung aus Steam- und Cyberpunk und es verbindet die Elemente klassischer Strategiespiele, mit frei beweglichen, fliegenden Inseln, wodurch ein einzigartig dynamisches Gameplay entsteht.

MDMers have their fair share of the usual type of homework: midterm projects, term projects, papers, etc. But every now and again, the profs give us a curveball.
Here, the C3s are playing Civilization: The Board Game as homework for their Foundations in Game Design class. In addition to playing the board game, they also have to play Civilization 5. They have to compare and contrast the two forms of media, their game mechanics, finding out what's fun in both versions of the game.
