Remix Fiction is proud to announce the launch of www.OpenGameDesign.com!
One of the founding principles at Remix Fiction is the idea of Open Game Design where all of the lessons learned from creating our transmedia storytelling experience are available during the design phase. Our goal is to be as transparent as possible while Remix Fiction evolves so that others can learn from our successes and failures. The only exception to this philosophy will be story elements that we believe will spoil the experience when the property launches in summer 2011,but everything else is fair game for discussion.
We always want to have a co-creation mindset where value is placed on the audience contribution at all stages of game development. This website will be the repository for what some developers call META or “behind the scenes”information,but we’re going to take it a step further and invite the audience to be a part of the co-creation even prior to the story launch. Through the site we’ll solicit input on all aspects of game mechanics,playtest some ideas,and share what we’ve learned while developing our game so that others can avoid the mistakes we make.
I can’t tell you how incredible I think this project is. You are dealing with cutting edge ideas of interactive storytelling,live action character creation,and collaborative creativity. But you are also demonstrating a level of transparency which allows everyone to learn from the experience of the experiment your conducting. I just have to say that this is a very impressive undertaking,so thank you for letting us all be a part of that.
