*****************
If you have ideas for game related rearch topic for the Ivory Tower column
send me mail and we can work an article into existence. Games are such an
enormous area of design and study that articles can range from pure games,
play and basic ludology; to interactive script writing and narratology;
to sound and music design; to visualization, animation and semiotics; to
marketing; usability; information and retrieval; artificial intelligence
and many, many more areas. The box is so big it isn't a box, but a world.
Industry and faculty folks are always good, but grad students are fine,
undergrads are fine and I'd love to find a couple of really smart 12 year
olds who are thinking about what would make games better and what would be
really 'cool.' If you don't think in textual terms we are more than happy
to consider discussion in any form from game-like Flash to audio theater
and graphic novel-style.
