The game interface - what exactly is it? Is it the user interface (UI)? Is it the control system?

Nintendo's Wii, Microsoft's Kinect and Sony's Move has seen rise to a host of new UI/control. Some forms of game play are dumping the controller and UI altogether in favour of using the real world, and others are playing with augmenting the real and crafting illusion using AR technology.

So, is it all just novelty or is the game the interface (or is the interface the game)?

Congratulations 48hr Game Making Challenge 2009 Winners

Submitted by souri on Mon, 05/10/2009 - 11:28pm

Congratulations to all who entered and endured the 48 hour game making challenge in Brisbane last weekend, it's quite a physical and mental feat you all took! I've been regularly popping in to view the live streams at various hours (particularly Sunday morning at 5am) and was quite impressed to see people still busily working away at their computers. The live stream of the presentation was great also, unfortunately there wasn't any sound so I couldn't hear all the winners and speeches that were had.

48hr Game Making Challenge is on this weekend!

The 48 hour Game Making Challenge is kicking off in a few hours!!! Truna and her crew are currently setting up the location where teams of game developers (three pro-league and *17* standard teams) will be sitting it out for 48 hours straight to complete a game using the three keywords supplied. Currently, everybody is filling in the building and getting ready for the 4pm start.
