TriadCity Message of the Day
2001-09-10

Last night's alpha players' online party was fun!

Many thanks to all who participated! We had a good time, found a few bugs, gave everybody a spiffy game item, and watched each other running around wearing silly game party hats. Is that virtually cool, or what?

It was so virtually cool, in fact, that we're soon going to make it a weekly event. There's just a little bit of work to do to prepare the transition from "alpha" to "beta" status; when that's done, we'll start throwing an online bash every Sunday evening, 5 - 9 p.m. PST. We'll send out e-mail when they start.

Thanks again to all who were there!

"In 1455, Gutenberg invented the printing press -- but not the book as we know it. Books printed before 1501 are called incunabula; the word is derived from the Latin for swaddling clothes and is used to indicate that these books are the work of a technology still in its infancy. It took fifty years of experimentation and more to establish such conventions as legible typefaces and proof sheet corrections; page numbering and paragraphing; and title pages, prefaces, and chapter divisions, which together made the published book a coherent means of communication. The garish videogames and tangled Web sites of the current digital environment are part of a similar period of technical evolution, part of a similar struggle for the conventions of coherent communication.

Now, in the incunabular days of the narrative computer, we can see how twentieth-century novels, films and plays have been steadily pushing against the boundaries of linear storytelling."
