Community bulletin board / H.P. Lovecraft Commonplace Book Project games now available!

« on: June 19, 2007, 06:18:01 AM »

The project was contributed to by 18 authors, writing 7 games, using 5 game development platforms, in 3 different languages, including the Wintermute game "Beyond the Threshold." The games are available at:

http://www.illuminatedlantern.com/if/lovecraft.html

Please play, discuss, rate, etc. Originally I had hoped for a "Best" in various categories, but since almost everyone chose different development platforms to build their games, just think about awarding a "Best in Show" overall for the English language games, so that game can be highlighted appropriately.

This project is ongoing, so we'll see updates to some of the games in a month or two, then the gallery opening in Switzerland in October, and lots more.

Send an email to lovecraft-at-illuminatedlantern.com to vote for Best in Show, any time between now and June 30. There are no restrictions to game discussion on the forums or elsewhere during the voting period.

Enjoy,

I don't think it's a problem if the game is not 100% new...a revision/expansion of an old game is OK! The key part, though, is that it should be based on one of the story ideas in Lovecraft's Commonplace book, as opposed to just on Lovecraftian themes in general. Though, if your game is Lovecraftian in nature, it's possible that one of the book items fits the bill, or can be added in your update/enhancement. The Commonplace Book is online at:

Also, when you email an intent to enter, I'll send you a .rtf file copy of the document.

This is an announcement of a competition of sorts, in which you would write a short game in WINTERMUTE, then see it hosted in an online gallery, tour various exhibitions, and possibly get pressed to CDROM.

The trick is, there is a short timeframe involved. Eight - ten weeks. If you wish to challenge yourself and take up this task, get all the details here:

And if you intend to enter, or if you have any questions, send an email to me at lovecraft[at]illuminatedlantern.com.

This is an exciting project that combines arists, writers, and game developers to one common purpose. Also, it has the potential to combine game developers of both text only and graphics varieties, which doesn't happen too often...I'm on the text side of the fence myself, so this forum is pretty unfamiliar territory to me.

Here is the original announcement over at rec.arts.int-fiction:
