The Brisbane IGDA and the gameOn free public programs invite you to our next presentation:

More than a game: a campaign

Mixed reality, cross-platform or alternate reality games are those games that use a variety of media (web, film, TV, performance and even the real world) to engage audiences and players alike. You may have joined in one of these without even realising! Designing a cross-platform campaign game involves people from TV, film, creative writing and game design. Join us to hear about how it’s done.

Presenters: Anthony Mullins & Jareth Bone from HOODLUM

Hoodlum is a proven team of filmmakers, creatives and technology developers that understand the uncompromising demands of film and TV production schedules as well as the intricacies of multiplatform content delivery.

And what the representative said (I've forgotten her name) was very very interesting, particularly surrounding their LOST project, and the discussion was useful to the Screen Forum I felt.

Once again, something I'd love to go to, but I'm stuck in Sydney...

Hi there,

We hope to keep the team together and continue development. Who knows where we will be in the future... Fingers crossed.
