Community Forums/Showcase/Critical Gameplay Exhibit, April 17th, 2009

Grace(Posted 2009) [#1]
In case any of you are in Chicago next weekend, this collection includes games made in Blitz3d:

Critical Gameplay is a collection of strategically designed video games. Each game asks the question, what do common game mechanics teach us? Each of the games in the collection are designed to help reevaluate our perspective on gameplay experiences. Critical gameplay seeks to offer alternate perspectives on the way we play.

The Exhibition:
Several video games will be displayed for visitors to play on multiple stations. Each games evaluates a specific gameplay standard and actively works against it. The hope is the initiation of an intellectual dialogue about the opportunities in unexplored gameplay mechanics.

The exhibition will also include other video games and interactive works created by Lindsay Grace.

The exhibition is open to the public and will be held for one night on April 17th, 6:30 pm – 10:00 pm.
• Location: 1100 West Cermak (enter at 2268 S. Carpenter / Gate A), Chicago, Illinois, USA
• Time: 6:30pm - 10:00pm
• Cost: Free (Open to the public)
• Contact: info@...

Beer, wine and refreshments will be served.

All this games are art stuff is really starting to annoy. A game is a game

This is fantastic. I love some of the concepts you're bringing up... especially with the First Person Shooter genre.

It's cool to see Blitz3D was used in a thesis. Also nice to see the output of a girl coder, there's not many around. I like your abstract approach to gameplay, although I think these games are more to make one think than to entertain.

My granddaughter goes to UIC, I will have to see if she will go and take some pictures of the exhibits for me. Looks fascinating.

Also nice to see the output of a girl coder
What girl would that be?
