Errantry
Errantry is best described as a Medieval Rap Battle. The game is a combinatorial storytelling engine controlled through a Wiimote driven gestural interface. Players compete to tell the story of a knight’s grandeur in the style of a Chanson de Geste or other Romantic epic. Success or failure is judged by the nobles of a medieval court, and their personal biases and reactions inform the story telling choices the players make. The game itself lives on its own blog, so go ahead and check it out there!
Detective Story
Detective Story was completed as part of the Intermediate Game Projects class in USC’s Interactive Media Division. Play as a pulp detective novelist and the protagonist of your own story at the same time. Based on an experimental idea of emergent narrative, we tried to create a game that would allow the player to tell the story through the eyes of a writer and experience it as the detective at the same time and using the same mechanic. Whether the player achieves success or failure depends on the player’s ability to “connect-the-dots.” Download the game.
