Seems like this is a mandatory dystopian uniform
It is HOT here. Really hot. The 70% and above humidity does not help, and I have found myself seeking shelter in the cool breeze of my AC from the hours of 10am to 4pm.
Not only have I had the chance to catch up on my reading, I am also working my way through several classic videogames.
I love stories (some say that my degree is in storytelling) and the levels of interaction that video games and the software that power them provide to players has always fascinated me.
To this end, the books I read this week that blend game design, UX and learning experiences in creative ways. Enjoy!
UX and Game Interaction Design:
Playful Design: Creating Game Experiences in Everyday Interfaces by John Ferrara
Dystopian Fiction (my favorite):
Kindred by Octavia Butler
On Such a Full Sea by Chang-Rae Lee
Video game theory:
The Medium of the Video Game by Mark J. P. Wolf
