[spectre] sagasnet___developing narrative games___online worlds
Call for participation __ Sagasnet workshop on Developing Narrative Games/ On-line Worlds Headed by: Ernest Adams__Guest Speaker: Jessica Mulligan March 31 2006 - April 06 2006, Academy for TV and Film, Munich. Germany _ In this intensive five-day workshop, the participants will work both alone and in teams to develop a design treatment for a narrative game/an online world. They will begin by studying the fundamental principles of computer game design, and then go on to explore the relationship between interactivity and narrative - in single player games as well as in online worlds. There will be a few lectures, but most of the activities will be fully hands-on, involving brainstorming, discussion, and presentations from the participants to the group. __ BIO__Ernest Adams Ernest Adams is a game designer, writer and teacher, working as part of the International Hobo design consortium. Adams graduated from Stanford University (California, USA) with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy in 1986. Initially, he worked as a software engineer in the electronics industry, but switched to game development in 1989, joining a company called Interactive Productions (later P.F.Magic). There he wrote the PC client for an early America Online game, RabbitJack¹s Casino. He also did the programming for Third Degree, a multi-player party game for the short-lived CD-I player. Moving to Electronic Arts in 1992, Adams became a game designer. He designed the first-ever CD-ROM edition of John Madden Football, for the 3DO Multiplayer. For the next several years he served as the audio/video producer for the Madden series, and under his guidance Electronic Arts perfected the technique of assembling sentences from audio fragments to produce seamless play-by-play commentary. During this period Adams also helped to produce the Game Developers¹ Conference and founded the International Game Developers¹ Association, the first worldwide professional society for game developers. In 1999, Adams moved to Great Britain to become a lead designer at Bullfrog Productions, a subsidiary of Electronic Arts. There he worked on two prototype projects, Genesis: The Hand of God and Dungeon Keeper 3. In 2000 Adams left Bullfrog to become a design consultant, joining the International Hobo consortium. He has worked for both large industry publishers such as THQ and Ubisoft, and smaller clients with special projects, including the Guinness Book of World Records and Zoo Atlanta. He writes a regular column on game design called ³The Designer¹s Notebook² for the Gamasutra developers¹ webzine, and has coauthored a book on the subject, Andrew Rollings and Ernest Adams on Game Design. He has also written a second book Break Into the Game Industry: How to Get a Job Making Video Games. Adams lectures frequently at colleges, art festivals, and game conferences, and conducts game design workshops around the world. His professional web site is at www.designersnotebook.com. BIO__Jessica Mulligan Jessica Mulligan is a 20-year veteran of the online games industry. Recently as Executive Producer and Creative Director at Turbine Entertainment, she oversaw the award-winning MMORPG franchise, Asheron's Call. Before Turbine, Ms. Mulligan held a number of positions within the games industry, including president of The Themis Group, vice-president of development for Engage Games Online, director of online services for Interplay Productions, a director on Ultima Online for Electronic Arts and director of operations at MM3D, Inc on the Middle Earth Online project. Ms. Mulligan has been involved in the design, development or management of more than 50 online games, including a dozen persistent worlds. A respected writer on industry issues, she was the author of the popular Biting the Hand column on Skotos.net for over six years. Her most recent book, Developing Online Games: An Insider's Guide, with co-author Bridgette Patrovsky ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), was released in the US by New Riders in March 2003 and has since been published in localized versions worldwide, including Korean and Chinese. sagasnet is a non-profit vacational training initiative in the frame of the MEDIA Programme of the European Commission.

More details and application forms available at http://www.sagas.de __ BIO__Greg Roach Greg Roach, M.F.A., is the CEO and Artistic Director of HyperBole Studios, which he founded in 1990. For nearly fifteen years Roach has been recognized as a worldwide leader in the field of interactive film, video and storytelling. His company, HyperBole Studios, explores interactive multimedia as a new artistic and cinematic form. In 1990, Roach´s first effort was the creation of an online, interactive digizine - years ahead of the internet explosion. During the two years he published HyperBole magazine, he designed, wrote and produced the world's first interactive, multimedia novel. The Madness of Roland, one of the first non-reference CD-ROM's, which was published to great acclaim. The New York Times called the effort stunningly beautiful. While finishing work on Roland, Greg also wrote, produced and directed a short interactive film called The Wrong Side of Town, a work that the American Film Institute considers to be the first interactive narrative film. With these two milestones under his belt, Greg began work on Quantum Gate, the industry's first full-length interactive movie, and the first product to use his newly conceived VirtualCinema technology. Quantum Gate solidified Roach's reputation as both a talented writer/director and a visionary technologist and designer. His first six years in business culminated when Fox approached him and asked him to helm the much sought after X-Files game. After receiving a ten-page story outline from Fox, Greg created the design (1000+ pages), wrote the shooting script (250 pages), directed a 2-month location shoot and oversaw the entire editing and post process. Upon its release The X-Files Game exceeded all expectations, premiering at number one in nearly every territory where it was released, and going on to sell over a million copies worldwide. Currently he is primarily focused on the DVD and wireless platforms. The ROM applications which he designed for The Terminator 2: Extreme DVD won an IRMA award for best DVD ROM. He is currently working on several DVD and wireless projects for major publishers. Recently, he presented a paper entitled Imagine Places: Distributed Telepresence Installations for Creating Immersive Historical Reconstructions at the UNESCO World Heritage in the Digital Age conference held in Alexandria, Egypt BIO__Dave Szulborski Dave Szulborski has created, developed, or worked on some of the most successful and critically acclaimed Alternate Reality Games (ARGs) of all time, both independent and professional, including Audi's Art of the Heist, Chasing The Wish, and Urban Hunt. The Art of the Heist campaign, widely acclaimed as one of the most innovative marketing efforts of the year, received several prestigious awards, including the coveted Best in Show title at the 2005 MIXX Awards. A pioneer of this new and rapidly expanding genre of online entertainment and marketing, Dave created the very first independent alternate reality game in 2001, while entertainment giants Microsoft and Electronics Arts were just beginning to experiment with the medium.
