Soon, I will start writing in-depth reviews of games. I'm just settling into new classes for the semester, including one I'm very excited about: Video Game Narrative. It's an English class, and will focus on the stories/backstories/character profiles/etc. of video games.
On the first day of class, the instructor presented an opportunity to connect with the coordinator of the Global Game Jam at Morrisville College. I don't know a lot about it, really, but it's a competition between thousands of students around the world to design and develop a video game following a certain theme within 48 hours. I don't have much programming experience, so I'd primarily be a storyboard writer/designer, and I would take on whatever various tasks I can handle. I can't wait to see how this turns out... it should be a good learning experience for me.
Click here to check out the website for the competition. Once the contest is over, the games will all be uploaded onto there. I'll keep this blog updated, and I'll link to the finished product as soon as I'm able. It starts this Friday, so hopefully you can expect to see results by early next week.
