'If you failed at something, it's because you tried something new. It doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with that if it doesn't go the way you want, but you do need to get up and try again until you make a success.'Chris Stylianou and his team takes his clients on adventures - and guess what you don't need to move very far to get adventuring. He's the founder of an award-winning escape game business, originally designed to be a physical experience when it launched in 2019 - but as you'll discover the pandemic flipped that business model on its head and took it online. Featured in Huffington Post, London Live, the Financial Times, described by Time Out as ‘one of the best online experiences' and with a predicted turnover of £3/4 million this year he's a guy travelling on the upward curve with his business.Chris and I chat about the trigger which propelled him taking The Adventure is Real from a side hustle to be his full time ambition, how life was just on track before the curveball of the pandemic as well as losing his dad, why Chris and his team recreated the offering to an online one within 2 weeks of the first lockdown and how it worked, fundraising, the influence of his dad (who sadly died during the pandemic), how he copes with stress and much more.My book recommendation: Hector and the Search for Happiness ~ Francois LelordChris's book recommendation: The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses by Jesse Schell & The Blade Itself by Joe AbercrombieChocolate: Dairy MilkQuote: It's a mistake to think that happiness is the goal ~ Francois LelordAgent VentureSUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER WITH A CHANCE TO WIN OUR H&P CHOCOLATE BAR.Don't forgot to hit follow to catch the latest episode and if you are feeling super generous I would treasure a rate and review (Apple).

In a way, the space where we live is an exhibition, a curation of an exact moment in time. As humans, we are constantly assessing the world around us and arranging it to fit our values. But, what factors influence our sense of taste and point of view? What makes something desirable? What methods do designers and leaders apply to contextualize products, information, and experiences people love? In this episode, Gautam Mukunda speaks with the Head of the Design Lab at Harvard, Dr. Beth Altringer, and the Chair, Art for Europe at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, Dr. Frederick Ilchman about the relationship between design and technology, and how shaping taste is a powerful way to lead. “Curating properly means to care for something, to preserve it. It's a rather beautiful calling. You are trying to save the best of the past for the present so we can understand what our future is going to be.” — Dr. Frederick Ilchman Follow @GMukunda on Twitter   Books Referenced: Arnhem: The Battle for the Bridges, 1944, by Antony Beevor Stalingrad, by Antony Beevor Important Artifacts and Personal Property from the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion, and Jewelry, by Leanne Shapton Salt Fat Acid Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking, by Samin Nosrat The Flavor Bible: The Essential Guide to Culinary Creativity, Based on the Wisdom of America’s Most Imaginative Chefs, by Karen Page, Andrew Dornenburg The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses, by Jesse Schell Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men, by Caroline Criado-Perez   Guest Info: Dr. Frederick Ilchman is an art historian and museum curator. He specializes in Italian Renaissance painting, particularly that of Venice. He’s chair of Art of Europe for the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. His acclaimed exhibition, Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese: Rivals in Renaissance Venice (2009), organized with the Musée du Louvre, won several awards. Eager to enlist supporters for his favorite city, he is also the Chairman of Save Venice, the largest non-profit organization specifically devoted to preserving the art and architecture of Venice.   Dr. Beth Ames Altringer is an award-winning designer and runs the Design Lab at Harvard University's John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. In 2016, The Harvard Crimson recognized her as one of the university’s top 15 professors. Altringer founded the Desirability Lab, which has helped teams at companies like IDEO, Gucci, Puma, IKEA, Disney, Piaggio, Swarovski, and Uber to create more desirable products and services based on behavioral research. When she's not teaching, Altringer is usually in her studio working with flavor data or making art. She built the iOS app, Chef League, an interactive game that lets you learn flavor intuition from chefs, created flavor research software called the Flavor Genome Project, paints for fun, and is a former champion blind taster.

Tänases episoodis on külas üks arvutimängu "Death and Taxes” loojatest Leene Künnap, kellega räägime mängude arendusest. Muuhulgas saame teada, et mängu lähtekood on avalik ja indiemängude maailmas polegi see erakordselt tavapäratu. Saadet veavad Priit Liivak Nortalist, Sergei Anikin Pipedrive'ist ja Tiit Paananen Veriffist. Koodi leiad GitHubist (https://github.com/oakwarrior/DeathAndTaxes). Tööde planeerimiseks kasutas Death and Taxes tiim HacknPlan lahendust (https://hacknplan.com/) ja narratiivi kirjutamisel oli abiks Articy (https://www.articy.com/en/). Mängumootorina kasutati laialtlevinud Unity (https://unity.com/) platvormi. Saime ka soovitusi algajale mänguarendajale alustamiseks. Alusta väikselt ja proovi midagi võimalikult lihtsat luua. Enne, kui Unity paljudesse võimalustesse süvened, uuri lihtsamaid mootoreid nagu Construct (https://www.construct.net/en) ja GameMaker (https://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker). Lugemissoovitusena rääkisime raamatust “The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses” (https://www.amazon.com/Art-Game-Design-Book-Lenses/dp/0123694965), millest on kahtlemata õppida ka arendustiimidel, kes ei loo mänge. Kui episoodis oli sinu jaoks koodi veidi liiga vähe, siis soovitame end proovile panna CodinGame keskkonnas (https://www.codingame.com/home).

Continuous technological advancements constantly change the games we play, but not the places we play them. In his book "The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses" Jesse Schell captures the insight of thinking about where players play games as the lens of "The Venue" and how making a game for this venue impacts choices in game design. In this week's episode, Anthony & Skylar focus on exploring the venue of "The Hearth" a central place in the home where many people of differing skill levels enjoy a gameplay experience together. Join in as they explore how Super Smash Brothers, Mario Kart, Mario Party, The Mind, Halo, and other games succeed in this venue!

Jesse Schell is the CEO of Schell Games, a team of one hundred people who strive to make truly great games, both for the purposes of entertainment and education, including award-winning VR games such as I Expect You To Die, HoloLAB Champions, and Star Wars: Droid Repair Bay. Jesse serves as Distinguished Professor of the Practice of Entertainment Technology at Carnegie Mellon University and is the author of the award-winning book The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses.

Jenn Sandercock - “It’s much better just to make, just to do. What you going to do is probably going to be wrong and need revisions. Don’t spend ages on a game design doc. Just make something, show it, iterate. ” Jenn Sandercock found the independent mobile games studio called Inquisiment with the goal of creating experiences that foster friendship, curiosity, and challenge. She is also in the process of creating a series of edible games which we definitely got to get into later in the show lol because I love food. Her works include Thimbleweek Park, aglimpse: friends, and L.A. Noire. We Discuss: Giving yourself constraints in game designJoin meetups to network and get constructive feedbackIf the players enjoy the game, it's a good game design, simpleGot an award for Edible Games at Indiecade where you eat!Working on a cookbook in KickstarterWas told that she was jeopardizing her career by bringing cakes to peersKnowing your scale and limitationDidn’t know there was an opportunity in the game industryAnd much more...Connect: GDC Talk: Friendship, Curiosity & Challenge: focusing your career as an Indie Dev Personal Website: http://jennsand.com/index.phpCompany Website: http://inquisiment.com/Twitter: @JennSandercockResources: Play a lot of other gamesTake influence from other median to use in your gamesBook: The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses by Jesse SchellRemember that knowledge is only Potential power, Execution is the game.

Henrique Olifiers - "When someone ask you during an interview or process. Have you made a game? Have you made a mod? Have you made anything? Can I see it? It doesn't matter the quality of what you have done. It doesn't have to be the best game ever. That's not about it. It's about initiative. It's about having gone through the hardship to put that together. That already puts you above 99% of the people who are competing with you for the same thing." Henrique Olifiers has been in the game industry for more than 30 years working on web-based games, massive multiplayer games, and social games. He is currently the CEO of the award-winning Bossa Studios, which are the makers of Surgeon Simulator, Monstermind and I Am Bread. Now they are currently working on Worlds Adrift, a sandbox MMO with real-time physics where you band together to build skyships and explore floating islands of a shattered world. We discuss: Made games since he was a kid in school in a third world country. The games were in cassette tapes! I didn't know there was even such a thing.Do 2-day game jams every single month at his companyThere are no oversaturation of good gamesThink about marketing from the beginningIt's not the players job to know how hard game development isBe wary of people that say or post something as gospelExcitement for AI that changes the game experience for each type of playerand much more...Connect: Bossa StudiosWorlds AdriftTwitter: @OlifiersCompany Twitter: @bossastudiosResources: Book: A Theory of Fun for Game Design by Raph KosterBook: The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses by Jesse SchellMentorsYoutube

In recent episodes, we have been discussing games and play, and their relevance to education, as well as to an improved understanding of human psychology. In this episode, I approach some central questions of the field: What is a game? What is a toy? What is play? What is fun? It is by their very naturalness that play, fun, and games are hard to define. We can sense what they are, and that's exactly what makes them hard to put them into words. Jesse Schell surveys the literature and puts together the ideas and definitions of many thinkers to come up with his own favourite definitions. Jesse Schell's book The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses is a thick, exhaustive tome on a complex subject. There's no way I could do his book justice in a single episode - it would need to be a quadruple-bill at least. But I wanted to introduce my audience to his book, and what better way to do it than through the fundamental questions of the field? Enjoy the episode.

Games perpetually revolutionize computer use toward denser interaction with the human mind. To do that, they perpetually revolutionize themselves. Understanding the next frontiers of the genre is one way to understand where society is going. In this talk Jesse Schell explores the social, cognitive, and technological trends in computer game design and use. Jesse Schell is the CEO of Schell Games, the author of the authoritative text, The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses, and a Professor of Entertainment Technology at Carnegie Mellon, specializing in Game Design. At Walt Disney, he was Creative Director of the Imagineering VR Studio.
