Hi Aphra
Yes. I believe I know the opportunity and I have a team of 6 experienced programmers ready to go. Will be making contact with view to pitch shortly. -
Aren’t all games "alternate reality games"
Is this another buzz word? ;)

"An alternate reality game (ARG) is an interactive narrative that uses the real world as a platform, often involving multiple media and game elements, to tell a story that may be affected by participants’ ideas or actions"[/quote:30f929baa5]
took the above from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_reality_game, as good as many of the more convoluted definitions I’ve read from Bolter, Murray, Landow and the rest.
BTW IMHO David4482 even ‘experienced Programmers’ alone, unless they’re really exceptionally cross disciplinary will not deliver an ARG. Looked at ARG stuff last year as part of a 360 project.

Nothing to tell Aphra, its dead in the water now, the pre-credit crunchiness squeeze’ killed it off before it got to fledgling functioning prototype – i.e. properly ‘floggable’ by commercial standards.
you know what they say Aphra: – go tell everyone you know: Viral Marketing doesn’t work ! tomorrow’s ARG will be so yesterday already.
Apparently Print & TV are dead, social media, mobile & Net AV are alive…. and yet the Irish Games industry remains a zombie, well maybe just urinating into the wind under current economic conditions…..
I’m genuinely depressed ……………. :cry:
