Auf der diesj\u00e4hrigen Game Developers Conference<\/a> wurden drei gro\u00dfe Namen im Business gebeten, mal was anderes zu erfinden als Ego-Shooter: ein Videospiel, das sich mit Emily Dickinson besch\u00e4ftigt. Battle for the Belle of Amherst<\/a><\/em>:<\/p>\n

The Sims<\/em> creator Will Wright, Black & White<\/em> designer Peter Molyneux and Splinter Cell<\/em> lead designer Clint Hocking were set the task of developing a game concept based on the reclusive poet.<\/p>\n

This was the second year of the challenge: Last year, several leading designers were asked to come up with games about love. Wright had the overflow crowd roaring with Collateral Romance<\/em>, a love story set in the war game, Battlefield 1942<\/em>.
\n(…)
\nWright, the speaker most people in the room had come to see, riffed on Dickinson’s reputation as a recluse. “If she were alive today, she’d be an internet addict,” Wright deadpanned, “and she’d probably have a really amazing blog.”<\/p>\n

At first, he said, he’d thought he would mix Dickinson’s poetry into a Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas<\/em> environment. But in the end, he was inspired to create a kind of combination of Tamagotchi and Microsoft’s universally hated paperclip helper, Clippy.<\/p>\n

Then came the idea to put the player in the role of Dickinson’s therapist. The game, he said, would be stored on a USB flash drive. “As you interact with her, you start with a cordial relationship,” he said. “She (either) becomes romantically obsessed with you, or goes into a suicidal depression, and at the end, she can delete herself from the memory stick.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ich w\u00fcrd’s kaufen. Aber ich bin ja auch einen Tag lang traurig, wenn meine Lieblingsfigur aus Animal Crossing<\/em> einfach in die Nachbarstadt umzieht, die treulose Kuh. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
