A few years ago I had just moved in with my cousin Bill in Edmonton and started my job at BioWare as a QA Term Tester. I was realizing this was the industry I was meant for, and was really excited about it. Many nights when I’d get home I’d talk Bill’s ear off about how exciting it all was for me. He gave me great career advice and of course shared my passion and we often talked about random ideas or directions we’d like to see the medium of gaming take.
One idea I’d had for a while was for a band to release a “game” as a music video. A heavily scripted, interactive scene set to the band’s new song. It had a lot of artistic potential. Well a band finally did it, and they did it well. They took it one step further with adding user generated content to it, so it’s not just interactive but networked. I love seeing gaming as a medium branch in new directions and try new things.
Please check out the “video”! All you do is move around the mouse when the icon changes to look around and effect your environment. It is meant to be run in Google Chrome.
