I believe you succeeded in your attempt to use games as a means to make the player think. I played it first without reading your message. It made me think of how much a waste of time video games are. This is what I thought your message was. I was walking around pressing different combinations of buttons depending on what symbol I walked into. No matter how great the graphics are, how great the game sounds, how "next gen" it is, it really is all the same. Simply pressing buttons in response to what I see on screen. Halo might have 100000000 times better graphics than your game, but I am still doing the same thing, wasting the same amount of time, pressing buttons on a plastic thing in my hands. This is what I thought you were trying to convey with your game. When I read your message, I realized I was wrong, but could definitely relate to what you were saying. Anyone with a job and daily chores should really appreciate your game. I admit I did not pay for the game, but this is the first time I have ever went online to read more about the publisher of a certain game. I had to come online to see who could have come up with such an amazing idea. I will be looking forward to your future "games"sgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308768450041034620.post-19754652812523005762009-06-18T13:28:41.550-07:002009-06-18T13:28:41.550-07:00Hi Vince,

The experience that I was trying to give the player was not accomplishment or progress, but an emotional resonance. Communication is the meaning of the game, to me. The idea was not to directly reward the player in the game, but to hope that players found the experience itself to be rewarding.The Shape Of Games To Comehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10844864187661700199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308768450041034620.post-82295866658229424562009-06-18T00:30:32.391-07:002009-06-18T00:30:32.391-07:00Hey there, I just wanted to say that I tried the t...Hey there, I just wanted to say that I tried the trial version of your game on XBLA Community and though I found the game simplistic (which is of course on purpose I'm sure) it was interesting because it reflected my own thoughts and ideas. I didn't buy it though, not because of the graphics, but becuase it didn't give me a new angle on life. Maybe that's asking a bit much, but since you've tackled this game in this manner, I think it's worth asking: what's the point? If we create our own meaning, like the meters are intended to suggest, then what meaning is found from them? Achievements or trophies aren't possible in this game, so the player doesn't get to experience that. The player is not awarded with additional content, unless I missed something spectacular by only playing thr trial version. In short, the player is not awarded with any expansion of experience within the game at this point. <br /><br />Am I wrong?Vince P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05116570588764451191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308768450041034620.post-91467510375381275752009-05-04T02:55:00.000-07:002009-05-04T02:55:00.000-07:00i really dont like that band...but i do really lov...i really dont like that band...but i do really love the name of your game...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
