[arg_discuss] [announce] ARGs at Upcoming Interactive Entertainment Workshop

[dave at daveszulborski.com]

ARGs will be a featured part of the Developing Interactive Entertainment
Workshop in Munich, Germany, from March 3 - 9, 2006.

The workshop is being put on by SAGAs Writing Interactive Fiction, a joint
initiative of the European MEDIA Plus Programme Training & Hochschule für
Fernsehen (TV) und Film in Munich, aimed at furthering fiction writing skills
for the interactive media market. Attending the workshop will be writers,
producers, directors, programmers, developers, designers and artists from all
over Europe.

"In the workshop, the relationship between storytelling, visual media
techniques, game design and interactivity will be explored in depth.
Participants will learn to apply their knowledge of media and narrative
to the new arena of digital technology by developing their own ideas for an
interactive product, which are then processed in a group design and
presentation phase. Participants will develop, in teams, presentations for an
interactive narrative product which is then discussed and evaluated by the
entire plenum."

I'll be speaking there on March 4th through the 7th about alternate reality
games and their role in helping redefine interactive entertainment and digital
storytelling.
