2007 Game-Related Programming



More and more, Context is exploring the intersection of gaming and literature in our programming. Aside from the all-hours gaming at Context, these are some of the game-related panels offered in 2007:

"Writing for Interactive Media"
Shawn Sines, Erin Hoffman, James Daniel Ross
Are there really differences between writing a story and writing a video game? What about role playing vs. interactive? Come join our panelists as they discuss and compare game writing processes.

"Getting the Most Out of Gaming"
Erin Hoffman, James Daniel Ross, Shawn Sines, Ferrett Steinmetz
How do you make your gaming experiences fun and enjoyable for yourself and the other players? Panelists also discuss their favorite games and any new games you should know about.

"The Game as Literature"
Jim C. Hines, Shawn Sines, Erin Hoffman, Chun Lee, James Daniel Ross
How many role playing and video games play out like a SF/F novel? Are games lower class or do they stack up against published literary works?
