Re: Surrealism in Games Design? Short Survey for FYP
P.s I agree with both of you on the irrationaility problem, effectively yes, the game will always be based on coded logic, and therefore always be rational in terms of interaction (how the player interaction is coded etc) But it is true that abstraction and irrationality can come with art, and how those interactions / game… -
Re: Surrealism in Games Design? Short Survey for FYP

Re: Surrealism in Games Design? Short Survey for FYP
i hear exactly where your coming from, the survey has been promising in terms of the actual games out there that do present the fact that these games are marketable (all you have to look at in essence is look at how much open source software there is now - and the fact that small teams of people can rapidly produce games…
