An interesting paper on the Interfaces of Adventure Games

#1 Post by BigCows » Thu Jul 20, 2006 2:30 am

I say interesting, because I wrote it myself and if I don't talk myself up, who will?

http://newheiser.googlepages.com/advent ... interfaces

This was written for a course in a grad program in computer science (the paper got an A), and I've been polishing it up recently and trying to make it readable to the outside world. I basically talk about the evolution of interfaces in adventure games, some of the choices made along the way, and some of my own recommendations.

Feedback or comments would definitely be appreciated.

Hmmm, I'm currently writing an article for classic adventure gaming on the lost potential of the keyboard. Yours is a lot more technical than mine will be, but looks worth reading. A really interesting, and often overlooked subject! I'll keep you updated.
