The tests will be 1/2 hour individually scheduled appointments on the following dates:

- Monday November 12 between 4PM and 6PM

No special background or experience in game design or game play is necessary -- though we do ask that if you volunteer, you must show up, as this is a required class assignment for the intermediate students. Everyone is welcome. Playtests will each take approximately 30 minutes and will be held in the Game Innovation Lab at the Zemeckis Center for Digital Arts.
Please contact Tracy at tfullerton at cinema dot usc dot edu if you’re interested in scheduling an appointment.]]> 2007-10-23T23:15:47Z 2007-10-23T22:58:39Z tag:,2007-10-23:interactive.usc.edu/members/tfullerton:32 2007-10-23T22:58:39Z

Some quotes from the article: "If Lucas' path from his grainy student film "Electronic Labyrinth" to his first feature film, "THX 1138," was the model for generations of film students, then the new model could be seen in the success of a game called 'flOw..."

In the conclusion of the article, Day notes, "While the gaming industry is currently intent on aping and besting the Hollywood blockbuster model with action and effects heavy games like "Halo 3," the next generation of gamers is looking to evolve the medium to the next step between technology and art."

The party may be over but the projects are now available for download. Check out all 5 games from 484/489 this Spring. Two of them are also ported to Mac, while all run on Windows.

Tracy and I thank you guys for your crazy hard work.

The tests will be 1/2 hour individually scheduled appointments on the following dates:

- Monday April 2 between 4PM and 6PM
- Wednesday April 4 between 4PM and 6PM

No special background or experience in game design or game play is necessary -- but please don't volunteer if you have already played the intermediate games and are familiar with them as we need fresh eyes for this test.

Also, if you volunteer, we need you to commit to be there (or to find a replacement tester if your schedule changes). This is an important class assignment and if you don't come, it will reflect on the designers' ability to improve their games. Playtests will each take approximately 30 minutes and will be held in the Game Innovation Lab at the Zemeckis Center for Digital Arts.

tfullerton http://interactive.usc.edu/members/tfullerton student design competition -- if you look through the categories on their submission site, you'll notice that it includes one for "interactive games." It seems like some of you may want to submit your intermediate projects, or other projects you've done to this.

From their email:
"The BDA (Broadcast Design Association) is the premiere international association of electronic media and communication arts design professionals and is dedicated to improving the quality of design for the screen through the exchange of innovative ideas and techniques ... Each year we offer a few select categories within our BDA competition to recognize outstanding work from students. We believe this is a valuable way to cultivate up-and-coming talent. Both students and industry professionals benefit from the exposure of entering (and winning) the competition. The competition is currently open and the deadline for entries is midnight, Monday, April 16, 2007. All entries must be processed through our online entry system."]]> 2007-02-05T14:30:56Z 2007-02-05T14:29:02Z tag:,2007-02-05:interactive.usc.edu/members/tfullerton:32 2007-02-05T14:29:02Z
