How might the conception, creation, distribution and play of video and computer games benefit from the collaborative, cross-media world of alternate reality games? ARG designer and writer Tony Walsh leads this core conversation with Alex Lieu, Chief Creative Officer for 42 Entertainment and other notable members of the ARG development community. An intermediate-level, open discussion, participants are expected to be familiar with the Alternate Reality game-form. Fans and professionals from any industry are welcome. Conceptual and technical issues will be raised and worked through as speakers and attendees explore how, why, and when video games might bend reality by crossing traditional boundaries and platforms.
