Deliverables 1) Our Paper and Documentation of Our Thoughts/Process Our research will culminate in a paper covering one large aspect of our research: the intersection of Improvisational Theater Techniques and Massively Multiplayer Online Games. In addition, we will document our thoughts and processes. We'll draw from this larger paper and supporting documents to create deeper, more focused papers and articles for publication. 2) Our Presentation/Conversation with EA On January 9th, we will be presenting our ideas to members of the Electronic Arts development community, including designer/producers from the Sims 2.0 team, and the Sims Online team. 3) Future Publication We will be submitting an editted version of our work to the International Conference on Advances in Computer Entertainment Technology (ACE 2004). In addition, we may also submit work to the International Conference on Entertainment Computing (ICEC 2004), DiGRA Games Conference 2004, and the Game Developer's Conference (GDC 2004). Other publication venues such as Game Developer Magazine and Gamasutra.com will be considered for articles based on our research. |
