SUMMARY:Building Story Worlds: Space\, Time\, Rules\, and Narrative in Game Design
DESCRIPTION:Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required\nSign-up by 01/09\nLimited to 20 participants \nAttendance: Participants must attend all sessions \nVisiting Artist Guilherme Marcondes\, in conjunction with researchers from the MIT Game Lab and the Program in Science\, Technology\, and Society\, will lead a workshop exploring the role of space in storytelling. The workshop will focus on exploring how artists can use the tools of game design—including space\, time\, and rule sets—to construct complex narratives that are deeply embedded in the settings in which they unfold. Participants will learn how to design and refine a game prototype through playtesting and observation; produce\, gather\, organize\, and use concept art\, music\, sounds\, and other source materials to establish the mood of a narrative setting; and evaluate their own and others’ creations in a critique-based studio environment. \nNo prior programming experience is required. Participants will review examples of stories that deal with spatial exploration; explore in and around MIT on foot; and work in teams to create tabletop game prototypes.  Students who want to advance their projects may continue working with the researchers Jan. 21-24 & may exhibit and demonstrate these prototypes at a public event on Jan. 24 at the MIT Museum.  There is also opportunity in the second week for exploratory visits with faculty and labs. \nThe MIT Visiting Artists Program will host filmmaker\, animator\, and mixed-media artist Guilherme Marcondes for a two-week residency.  For more information visit http://arts.mit.edu/artists/guilherme-marcondes/. \nTo register\, email Meg Rotzel at mrotzel@mit.edu. \nSponsor(s): Science\, Technology\, and Society\, MIT Game Lab\, Comparative Media Studies\n\nContact: Meg Rotzel\, 617-253-2372\, mrotzel@mit.edu

SUMMARY:ModIT Workshop: Online HTML Game Engine/Creation Tool
DESCRIPTION:Enrollment:\nLimited: Advance sign-up required\nSign-up by 01/16\nLimited to 30 participants\nPrereq: see description \nIntroduction to a set of tools for creating games. Modit is currently in private beta but in this workshop\, we will showcase our HTML5 game development. ModitTM seeks to transform HTML5 games into a new medium for self-expression by turning players into game creators.  By bringing a full development environment into the browser\, players will be empowered to modify the games they play and instantly publish and share those creations with the world. \nRequired of attendees: 1) Familiarity with JavaScript is ideal\, but basic understanding of any programming language should be sufficient.   2) Laptop with Google Chrome\, or Firefox\, and Internet connectability.  3) Gmail account to log into the ModIt platform. \nSponsor(s): Comparative Media Studies\, Game Lab\nContact: Sara Verrilli\, akiru@mit.edu
