I think it's a shame that some members of the 'ARG community' are so close-minded to new types of interactive experiences... A few things should be noted: 1) Our launch was a mere teaser to a much larger project in production. And yet in a mere month we gained 6 million page views worldwide (Junko Junsui is a well known cultural meme among Chilean youth, amusingly). 2) We never set out to make an ARG. Our teaser was instead an experimental exercise hoping to accomplish several things... A - We hoped to repurpose certain forms within electronic media and in doing so blend the line between fiction and reality. For instance, it is a fact that our Russian PMC, Alfa-Tsentr was established so convincingly online that it received earnest job inquiries from real military mercenaries as well as an invitation to visit Pyongyang from the foreign ministry of North Korea. (We were also investigated by US Army intel, Russian Interpol, the US Justice Department and other assorted government agencies during the course of our exercise.) B - We hoped to set up an adversarial social dynamic wherein multiple sides competed against each other in a kind of intelligence / counterintelligence warfare. This ethos obviously contradicts the 'massive pool' of information found typically in ARGs and such dynamic will play a heavy role in our forthcoming release. You see, we have a novel way of repurposing the entire Internet. No more, "in-game" or "out-of-game". The player opts in, and then the game takes over, sometimes when they least suspect it. If any of this sounds interesting to you, an English blogger did some pretty impressive subject-focused postings on events which transpired during our teaser... http://thejunsui.wordpress.com/ I cannot say too much more other than we have someth alternate,reality,game,,alternate,reality,gaming,,ARG,,cross-media,,transmedia,,online,gaming,,cross,media Digital Trail yes No ARG Netcast, Episode 112: The Best and Worst of 2009 http://www.argnetcast.com/2009/12/arg-netcast-episode-112-the-best-and-worst-of-2009/ http://www.argnetcast.com/2009/12/arg-netcast-episode-112-the-best-and-worst-of-2009/#comments Thu, 31 Dec 2009 21:25:33 +0000 Jonathan Waite http://www.argnetcast.com/?p=622 http://www.argnetcast.com/2009/12/arg-netcast-episode-112-the-best-and-worst-of-2009/feed/ 4 72:08 On this week's show, co-hosts Michael Andersen, Dav Flamerock, Sean C.

As many of you already know, the alternate reality gaming community lost a friend and inspiration last week with the passing of Dave Szulborski. Dave was a leader in the development and promotion of ARGs, and authored two books on the subject. He was a guest on the netcast a few times, and was the center of attention for episode 24, The Szulbosrki Show. We would like to remember and celebrate Dave by re-airing episode 24 on Monday night at 7:30 pm CT. The rebroadcast will take place on our live stream at Ustream, which you can hear by visiting live.argnetcast.com. The stream has an IRC chat in which you can share your thoughts and memories of Dave as the episode plays. After the rebroadcast, we will have a new episode at our regularly scheduled time of 8:30 pm CT featuring the team behind Ruby's Bequest, which recently wrapped up. We hope you can join us on Monday and we extend our deepest sympathies to Dave's family and friends and all of you who were lucky enough to have met Dave or played one of his many games.

Joining them for this spirited discussion on labyrinths, rogue cops and what it takes to be an independent puppet master is Celina Beach, writer at ARGNet and all-around cool chick. Emails from our topic discussion Jason Chrest, CEO of Aporia Cross-Media Entertainment: Thanks for the interest in life behind the scenes. I wanted to address a few of the questions you had regarding how things tick(ed) back here. Propping open the curtain for a few I decided it would be best to address three projects I have publicly worked on and contrast each of them for you. The focus of this response will be on budgets, time commitments, number of staff in each game, obstacles we face and various gems that help us be who we are. With these three games that I can openly discuss, I have had a good variety of experiences from the grassroots/independent perspective. My first game was a catastrophe even though I still love the concept I had for the game. The level of experience I had with the genre itself was absolutely minimal, thus I had no idea about the amount of time required of me to produce a good product. I was overwhelmed by the amount of work (10-12 hours per day 7 days a week for I believe it was 5 weeks) and the stress caused me to alienate a huge player base (unfiction.com). The cost of the game was minimal at the time ($10/mo with a hosting plan at 1and1.com with a free domain registration) as I only had domain hosting/registration costs to worry about. I did, however, have a ldquo;grand prizerdquo; for players ($.99 for a toy car + shipping to Canada) suggesting to the players that they would win a brand new Pontiac Solstice which I neglected to point out was a brand new toy Pontiac Solstice. My major obstacle with this game was the fact that I had no idea what I was doing or an appreciation for how rewarding pulling off a successful game would be. It took me a little while after that game to decide to begin producing my second game, Ny Takma. With Ny Takma I reached out to an experienced player base and pulled in individuals who were interested in helping to create the game. We had started with a particular launch date (3 weeks of planning time) and went through a large number of changes to the original story before we launched. The staff for Ny Takma was a decent size at about 7 I believe, but we only had 3 individuals who made major contributions to the development of the game. For the 3 of us we each spent between 4 to 10 hours per day, 7 days a week for 3 months total creating the story and acting out the various characters. The 3 of us worked diligently as we all had too much pride in what we were doing to let it fail because we didnrsquo;t work hard enough. Two of us have/had full-time jobs during the development which made our work days between 12 and 18 hours, the other individual was located in Australia and was a full time student who had the opportunity to do a good bit of graphics work while at school. One of the largest obstacles we faced in the creation of the game was our proximity to each other, the distance and only being able to communicate electronically proved to be a challenge at times. The budget for Ny Takma was small, but it potentially has a larger cost. For me I felt the need to archive the main website for the game so I retained hosting beyond the initial running time for the game ($10/mo for nearly 24 months now with $10/yr domain renewal). I do have other websites running on the hosting package so I can claim to offset that cost. Now before I get into the Aporia Agathon Project which is still in development and has not launched yet, I wanted to clarify some points with Aporia Cross-Media Entertainment, LLC. Aporia CME is a small development group with no permanent full-time employees. I created the business with desires to build it into a larger entity wi...

Stacey (Unfiction, Despoiler) are back with a jam-packed episode of the ARG Netcast series! On this episode: The Dark Knight, Find the Lost Ring, indy ARGs and Battlestar Galactica. News Items and Links From Discussion The Dark Knight alternate reality game has ramped up in the past month. On March 13th, Geoff May of ARGNet reported on real-world rallies for Harvey Dent, as Dentmobiles rolled into various locations across the U.S., which caused quite a stir in at least one city. Also, just last week, there was another swagfest live event in the vein of the Joker cake extravaganza, this time involving bowling alleys. We've got the details in our discussion today. The Lost Ring continues to gain worldwide momentum after launching earlier in the month. The campaign has gotten players involved in finding ancient artifacts called the omphaloi, with one being stolen as part of the plot of the last few days. You can jump into action by reviewing the excellent resource at olympics.wikibruce.com. Congratulations go out to World Without Oil, as they won the Web Award for Activism at this years SXSW festival. You can listen to the team from WWO as they talk about their experiences in episode 27 of our netcast series. Speaking of SXSW, Brandie Minchew of ARGNet was at the event, and was fortunate enough to be in the audience for two ARG related discussions. The new Aporia Cross-Media Entertainment project, Aporia Agathon, was in the news two weeks ago for sending ornate tribal masks to players that contributed to a YouTube video contest. The masks were accompanied by a note starting that the project would be launching in July 2008. Six to Start, a new venture that involves the Hon brothers, formerly of Mind Candy Design, has partnered with Penguin Books to launch a campaign called We Tell Stories. The stories, in this case, are well-known novels, but they are told in slightly different ways. You can read more about the first story, a retelling of "The Thirty-Nine Steps" by John Buchan, in a story by Michael Andersen at ARGNet. Over at the Despoiler blog, my co-host Sean C. Stacey has been hard at work in delivering news of the latest trailheads and game tips. In the past week there have been three new and exciting posts, including information on The Rivard Project, Faceless Invasion N.Y. and The Hope Ranch Foundation. You can read more at despoiler.org. While we're on the topic of new games, Licorice Films, who you might remember from MeiGeist, is set to launch their new project The Sky Remains any day now. According to the metasite at theskyremains.com, this new venture combines interactive narrative, social networking, geocaching, alternate reality gaming and Hewlett Packardrsquo;s Mscape technology. And finally, amid the usual pile of bills, invoices and department store flyers that usually pollutes the ARGNet snail mailbox, an unusual and unexpected package arrived containing a set of headphones -- broken, according to the documentation accompanying them -- with the words I WAS BLIND scratched into electrical tape holding the top together. This is a new immersive experience by Dog in a Dress Media, and it might be related to a camera being found in a DJ's bag in the UK, but perhaps not. Judge for yourself by clicking this link.

Stacey (Unfiction, Despoiler) and Jonathan Waite (ARGNet) welcome special guests Denny Vaccaro and Jake Sapir from the Providence Radio show to the discussion. On the table this week: Eldritch Errors and SXSW. News Items of the past two weeks You Suck at Photoshop -- it's not just a catch phrase, it's an ARG! The viral video series we talked about on episode 48 has continued to gain momentum with another video in the series and, of all things, a connection to a World of Warcraft player. If you want to get in on this one before it gets entirely too weird, check out the thread at the Unfiction forums, or search for the videos on YouTube. Rebecca and Martin McDowell are missing, and you should care because they seem to be two characters in a new game at locatemyfriends.co.uk. Players at unfiction were emailed, so it's pretty clear that this is a work of fiction and not some sick, twisted social experiment gone awry. New and noteworthy discussion items that have popped up over the last little while include The Conspiracy 08, Ketsui Chan, Limpotrade and The Gate Reaction. Add these to ongoing games Eldritch Errors, 48 Hours in Purgatory, Trinstod, Project Ophiuchus, the Gardner Project and Tom Tooman, and you'll agree that the ARG genre is overflowing with good, quality projects to get involved in. A thoughtful puppetmaster was kind enough to send ARGNet a nifty wooden package containing a note and a punch card, which seems to be coinciding with magazine advertisements in German magazines. The game leads to vanvelsenmeer.org, and in-depth coverage can be found at patmo.de, our German-language friends in the ARG news business. World Without Oil has been nominated for a prestigious SXSW Web Award, to be given out at the SXSW Interactive festival in less than a month's time. We wish to congratulate the crew behind the socially conscious experience, many of who joined us for episode 27 of the Netcast series. Finally, Brandie Minchew has reported at ARGNet about the development of a new radio show at Grinell College in the great state of Iowa, USA. The hour-long weekly show focuses on Eldritch Errors and can be heard around the world through their Internet stream. Show hosts Denny Vaccaro and Jake Sapir join us today to discuss their show and the goings-on with EE. Topic Discussion (1) EE/Providence radio show -- we talk with Denny Jake about what it takes to start a radio show, how they prepare for the weekly broadcast, what kinds of listeners they are hearing back from, and what's happening with Ms. St. Feline and the folks at Sentry Outpost.

Be sure to catch our zany news items of the past two weeks, and stay tuned for an in-depth discussion about the fine line between ARGs and hoaxes. News Items of the Past Two Weeks After the US release of the Cloverfield movie, the viral campaign seems to have slowed drastically, perhaps so the architects may direct more effort toward the newly-discovered Star Trek campaign. The trailhead site can be found at NCC-1701.com and was found subtly linked from the official movie website at Paramount.com. Aporia Cross-Media Entertainment (ACME) announced its upcoming effort, the Aporia Agathon Project with a video trailer and clues released via the web and tips to certain ARG news sites. The genre-blending campaign is slated to begin this summer. The Harvard Business Review, as part of its annual "Top 20 Breakthrough Ideas" issue, published an article by Jane McGonigal, in which she argued for more Alternate Reality Gaming in the workplace. Except, like, where your boss would know about it this time. Book 3 of Eldritch Errors, the ongoing Lovecraftian ARG created by GMD Studios, kicked off in earnest with a series of live events in Sacramento, California; New York City, New York; and Austin, Texas. Yah, R'lyeh! ARGNet has a new iPhone edition, which is not only pimp-stylin' but also style-pimpin'. Browse to ARGn.com on your iPhone or iPod Touch, you lucky bastard, and watch it magically pimp your shiznit! Some random guy named Steve Peters pointed out an excellent short story, featuring a mention of Alternate Reality Gaming. Written by Tim Pratt of Escape Pod, it's entitled "Artifice and Intelligence," and is available in transcript and podcast forms. Fundi Technologies is at it again. The makers of Deus City recently launched their sophomore effort, "Conspiracy Asylum File Zero." Surf over to the meta site at conspiracyasylum.com and get started. Viral Marketing may be getting sneakier but is our marketers learning? A recent web video series called "You Suck at Photoshop" was revealed as produced by an online marketing company known as Big Fat Brain, when they used a classic ARG technique to provide a clue in the fifth episode to a fictional website where the main character was employed. We are trying to reach Big Fat Brain for comment as to whether this was an intentional meta-reveal or a horrible, gory accident, with blood everywhere and rats chewing on eyeballs and GOOD GOD WHAT IS THAT An old story we once called "401WTF" was recently resurrected (for us, anyway) as "Nowheremen." A self-labeled "Social Reality Game," the promotion surrounds a web-series about a missing gentleman named Derek, the first episode of which premiered on January 22nd at nowheremen.net. Clues to Derek's whereabouts are strewn about the internets in true Web 2.0 trans-media fashion. And finally, a brand new game launch this weekend, Project Ophiuchus was launched via strangely misdirected emails to various ARGonauts referring to the end of the mysterious "Phase 11." Intrepid players have already discovered an enigmatic code in the source code of the website, projectophiuchus.com.

In episode 47, we manage to talk about a very successful recent monster movie you might have heard about before launching into a tornado of discussion regarding the mainstream press. Returning to chat with host Jonathan Waite (ARGNet) are Sean C. Stacey (Unfiction, Despoiler) and Brooke Thompson (Giant Mice, Eldritch Errors). Don't miss this one -- it's a roller coaster ride! News Items of the Week The big news of the week is the release of the long awaited film Cloverfield. The buzz about this movie started with a mysterious trailer in the summer of 2007, and since then the film has been the subject of blogs and mainstream media features, due in part to a series of enigmatic web properties. With the U.S. release of the film, it's unclear whether the online campaign will continue or not. Sean C. Stacey reported on ARGNet that an upcoming project is in the works by the team behind Deus City. A video, entitled "Conspiracy Asylum File Zero", can be found on YouTube and is a hint of things to come. Sources say that the project will launch in early February. Jan Libby, best known for her work on the Sammeeeees games and with Lonelygirl15, is developing a project to be released in spring. Brandie Minchew of ARGNet caught up with Libby, who revealed that the Writer's Guild of America strike has affected a television show she was developing, but this other project has been picked up by a production company. A new online game has been developed to run concurrently with the new season of the BBC's Torchwood. The Doctor Who spinoff involves operatives which work for the mysterious Torchwood Institute, and the game involves players as active participants who get to take on the role of an agent trying to get onto the Torchwood team. Alas, the game seems to only be accessible from the UK, but lucky Brits can jump right in on the action from the show's website. The Gardner Project, the game which is tied in with the Sarah Connor Chronicles, has a new puzzle which involves punchcards as clues. The puzzle is still unsolved still has unsolved elements, so if you think you can help, head over to the Unfiction forums to lend a hand. Players who obtained cell phones as part of the most recent Dark Knight event have received text messages since the 14th which lead some to believe that the game will restart soon. The messages are being sent out by someone at Why So Serious, presumably the Joker himself. Many new games have popped up, including possible ARGs related to bands Panic at the Disco and 65 Days of Static. Also new and noteworthy are 48 Days in Purgatory, the Whitechapel Foundation and Assassin Diaries. You can read more about all of these emerging projects at the Unfiction forums News Rumors and Chaotic Fiction sections. Finally, Heroes Evolution, the game formerly known as Heroes 360, is continuing, despite the fact that its parent television series Heroes is not currently running new shows, thanks to the aforementioned writer's strike.

After the news, they will be talking to you about how your efforts mean more to ARGs than your abilities, so pay attention! (Also, as a fun diversion, for every time Jonathan says "et cetera", drink a shot of your favorite beverage!) News Items of the Week On December 31, ABC TV launched a new interactive game for its popular drama Lost. While the game known as Find 815 isn't a sequel to The Lost Experience, the alternate reality game that came out in 2006, players are still enjoying the chance to learn more about the Lost mythology. The viral marketing isn't limited to the game, as billboards advertising for fictional Oceanic Airlines have been popping up worldwide. What is this Game is a new promotion that is bills itself as both an ARG and a contest. The campaign is tied to What is this Movie, a film being released by Staff of the Magi production, and the grand prize is a cameo role. QU13E is back from a long absence from the ARGosphere. Originally launched in late 2005, the game was resurrected on January 1st with cryptic messages and images. Book three of Eldritch Errors has apparently begun with a new post at The Wall of Dreams, an in-game web site. The game originally launched eight months ago and has included unique mail items and memorable live events. Details emerged this past week about new projects from companies in the UK. Six to Start, a new venture that involves Adrian and Dan Hon of Perplex City fame, is working on a project geared for 14-19 year old participants, while Channel 4 is sponsoring educational ARGs. The Winter X Games is using alternate reality gaming as a way to connect with their audience with a campaign called Buttermilk is Alive. The narrative deals with the idea that scientific phenomena is causing irreversible changes to a mountain popular with winter sporting enthusiasts. Michael Andersen of ARGNet has written an article about updates to the 401WTF game. Originally designed as a tie-in for Room 401, a thrilling TV series on MTV, the game has now led players to nowheremen.net and the buzz has extended to such sites as Alice Taylor's Wonderland blog. A new ARG that involves pictures from the future can be found at enitechlabs.com. The speculation is that the game is connected to the upcoming premiere of FOX TV's "The Sarah Connor Chronicles", which is set in the mythology of the Terminator film franchise. Players have seen their input used in the game, including suggestions for locales to photograph.

Here's our gift to you -- a stirring, fast-paced discussion of recent ARG news featuring Jonathan Waite (ARGNet), Sean C. Stacey (Unfiction, Despoiler) Brooke Thompson (Giant Mice, Eldritch Errors) and Brian Clark (GMD Studios, Eldritch Errors). News Items of the Week The Cloverfield viral campaign launched a widget this past week that seems to measure the networking effect of the 'word of mouth' spread of information. People can post the widget on their own blogs and web sites and the idea seems to be to track the buzz that the game-which-is-not-a-game is receiving. See the Cloverfield Clues blog for more details. Jane McGonigal has posted on avantgame.blogspot.com that she needs help to find the next great puppetmasters. She is looking for people who are bilingual, preferably those who can speak both English and Japanese or Mandarin Chinese, and the job includes a lot of creative responsibility, including public performance. If you meet these requirements, head over to her blog to see how you can apply. Nathan Cade, a new game that has popped up recently, follows in the footsteps of previous games that begin with a suspicious email that leads into various instant messaging interactions. Players have been assigned codenames which suggest that the puppetmasters are attempting to create two teams, which is causing frustration with some of the player base. According to Aleks Krotoski of The Guardian Games blog, Alternate Reality Gaming was the biggest disappointment of 2007. Her arguments are based on the number of people playing ARGs, as well as the demise of Mind Candy as an ARG developer. I'm sure that this might come up later in our discussion, so stay tuned. What is this Game, a promotion for a movie called What is this Movie, will begin on January 1, 2008. Part of the Terms of Service include a section about cheating players, in which the puppetmaster team warns against decompiling the Flash elements. Sean C. Stacey of Unfiction wrote an interesting article about the relationship between puppetmaster and player. This will be one of the feature discussions on today's netcast.

It's another episode of the ARG Netcast, and today's superfreaky show features Jonathan Waite (ARGNet), Sean C. Stacey (Unfiction, Despoiler) and Brooke Thompson (Giant Mice, Eldritch Errors). The down low on the convo is this: J. Marcus Xavier is one bad muthatrucker, the Joker send a calling card via cake, Chain Factor is wildly addictive, and it takes a lot of effort to stage a live event. Word. News Items of November It has been revealed that Red Monday, an alternate reality game that showed up in early October, is a promotion for a new audio drama series. The first episode of the five part post-nuclear story is available for free, but subsequent parts will cost you. It also appears that the game is continuing, but is 99% finished, with only one puzzle remaining. The game found itself embroiled in a bit of controversy in November when J. Marcus Xavier, the creator of the game and the audio drama, showed up at a podcasting symposium and handed out mysterious red envelopes to slightly bewildered attendees. We'll talk more about this incident in our topic discussion today. The Dark Knight ARG expanded in late November with a multitude of new web sites and an interesting mission from the Joker that involved cakes and cell phones. All indications are that the recent additions to the game point to a larger, more complex ARG that will compliment events taking place in the film, which is still months away from release. Numb3rs, a crime drama on CBS, featured alternate reality gaming in an episode that aired in early November. The episode included references to a game called Chain Factor, which is a highly addictive web game that can be found at chainfactor.com. However, the Flash-based puzzle game is not what it appears to be on the surface, as players have discovered secrets within the site that point towards a more robust transmedia experience. The site currently has a hidden countdown that will expire minutes after we stop recording marking either the end of the campaign or the beginning of the next stage of game play. Deus City has wrapped up after a more than a year of existence. The game, which often blurred the line between reality and fiction, concluded with a thirteen part narrative that detailed the end of the Time Communications project, according to Michael Andersen of ARGNet. Adam Brackin, one of the project creators, plans to release his dissertation based on the game in late spring 2008. Tom Tooman, a game that first showed up on our radar in early August via a Despoiler alert, is the official ARG for the ABC television show Jericho. In mid-November, ARGNet received a tip from a source close to the game confirmed that the game was linked directly to the show, and has hinted that more will be in store for players and viewers alike.

Joining host Jonathan Waite (ARGNet) for the festivities are Sean C. Stacey (Unfiction, Despoiler) and konamouse (Unfiction forum moderator). News Items of the Week Congratulations go out to the team at 42 Entertainment as their puzzle game Vanishing Point won multiple W3 Awards. The company, well known for its alternate reality games, won three eleven awards, including the Best in Show. The W3 Awards are sanctioned and judged by the International Academy of the Visual Arts. Daniel van Gool, an Unfiction forums administrator, was kind enough to report on PICNIC '07 for ARGNet. His three part report is available on argn.com, and is an in-depth look at this year's cross-media conference. The end has come for It's Coming, a viral marketing campaign we last told you about in episode 37. As it turns out, the game was a buzz-generating project for the Ditch Witch Zahn, a trenching machine. Many people have been receiving postcards and strange emails for a game being called "The Book of Minimer Randibone" or "Zetria Atrian". The Chaotic Fiction narrative is filled with references to the classic arcade game R-Type, the printed quality of the postcards is quite high, and a privately-registered web site has recently been discovered, so its anyone's guess where this one is going, but so far it's providing enigmatic fun for onlookers and participants alike.

Thanks to regular panelist Marie Lamb, the associate editor at ARGNet, we are honored to be joined by Lance Weiler for an hour of captivating discussion. Lance is a film director who has written and directed Head Trauma, a movie that is also known as a 'cinema ARG'. Lance answers all the questions we could throw at him, including queries about Hope is Missing a new ARG that has been created to promote the DVD release of his film. For more information on Frank, see: Stage6 wants to help you find Hope "I'll have some nachos--oh, and one creepy guy to follow me home, please." http://www.lanceweiler.com http://www.headtraumamovie.com/ (scroll down for content) http://www.htmob.com/blog/ News Items of the Week Red Monday is the name of a new game that has elicited both positive and negative reaction from ARG players. While the codebreaker puzzles and interaction are attractive to some participants, the game creators have decided to treat the Unfiction forums, a clearly out-of-game resource, as part of the game's content. You can start in at the game's trailhead web site, red-monday.com. The Case of the Coveted Bottle seems to have wrapped up. The game was well received by players and the waiting game is on to see who won the grand prize. In the meantime, some people who had a chance to experience the ARG are hoping for a QA session with the game creators. Guy Parsons, formerly of Mind Candy Design, has published a presentation he gave to Penguin Books in which he references Perplex City. Guy suggests that stories be told in a more 'rock and roll fashion', which generally means adding more flash and spark to the reading experience. Head over to vexappeal.com/mashup for the write-up. Michael Andersen reported at ARGNet this week on the recently launched Hope is Missing game, noting that the game has gone through significant changes since its unveiling to make clear that it is an ARG. The game deals with a missing person and incorporates video into its narrative. Subscribe to the ARG Netcast feed through this link or via iTunes.
