WHAT MEDIA METAMORPHOSIS IS TAKING PLACE?




  In 2005, Australians spent more time watching television than they did online – 13.2 hours compared with 8.9.
                 Internet use increased in 2006 to 12.5 hours, but television still came out ahead with 13.8 hours.
In 2007, internet use in Australia surpassed TV watching for the first time — 13.7 hours per week vs. 13.3 hours.
                                                                                                    Nielsen Online

I think we're on a threshold of a new way to tell
stories... It's a form of entertainment that's not a
game and it's not a film. It's a filmic game
experience. Peter Jackson

If games are going to be a true dominant art form
in this century, we have to elevate them beyond
the simple mechanics of the gameplay or the
graphics. All that matters is actually the
experience. When we realised this, that’s when we
started focusing on story.

                                          Over 60% of Americans now play
                                          video games, an indication of
                                          how diverse games audiences
                                          have become.

                                          The appeal of games is getting
                                          wider but the under 18 year old
                                          audience is the strongest sector
                                          representing 45% of games
                                          players in Australia.

Happiness comes from Agency
1) Satisfying work
2) Experience of being good at something
3) Time spent with people we like
4) The chance to be part of something bigger
than ourselves

Games and particularly customisable games
gives you the above better than anything else.

Story Environments
Level 1 - Shared
Inhabitants create their own stories and shared mythology in a non specific narrative space.

Level 2 - Seeded
Catalyst writer/actor role plays and brings others into their story world in a generic narrative space

Level 3 - Influenced
1. Static - The environment is rich but only communicates in a visual static way
2. Living - The environment speaks to you, a monologue, pushes story at you eg; ghosts, residual lives,
placed signage etc:
3. Dynamic - You have a dialogue with the environment which responds to most things you do. E.g.:
objects and bots respond to your chat

Level 4 - Character
Environments that are richly rendered with strong back-stories and require you to improvise around a
range character definitions with others who are also role playing.
1. Improvised - human
2. Non-player characters are key role players

Level 5 - Scripted
The most passive where you inhabit a scripted part using two methods depending on the technology
1. Automatically animating you and talking for you with others (automated) in group scenes
2. You deliver a pre-set script as actor

•    What this means is eg: Call of Duty, Guitar Hero
     and World of Warcraft all under same company
•    EA, Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft still big
     competitors
•    EA still have their sights on Take-Two (GTA4 etc:)
     which would rock the anti-competitive boat

                             Games Development in Australia
There are 2000 people currently working in the Australian games
development industry and by 2010 they expect this to be 6000.

A skills shortage in the industry but there is also a need for diversification,
innovation and an injection of new ideas.

Many companies are now realising the benefits of developing their own IP.

Many see potential of the booming Asian market which is predicted to be
the highest global growth area in the next five years.

Krome is Australia’s largest games developer and developed Australia’s
most successful original game Ty the Tasmanian Tiger.

Blue Tongue is a major Melbourne developer owned by games publisher
THQ.

What is Inhabited TV?
”Inhabited TV involves the public deployment of collaborative virtual environments (CVEs)
so that on-line audiences can participate in TV shows within shared virtual worlds.” BBC
R&D 1996

The experiment ran in parallel to the
BBC television series The Net. After
each TV program, its viewers were
invited to become inhabitants in a
virtual world whose design mirrored
its theme and where they could
engage in various events such as
debates between performers (e.g.,
between the author Douglas Adams
and BTʼs Peter Cochrane) and
playing with interactive objects (e.g.,
a bouncy castle). Over 2300 people
registered to become inhabitants of
The Mirror.
