Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Feds appealing Kapyong court decision
OTTAWA – For the second time the federal government is appealing a court decision requiring it to fully consult with Treaty One First Nations in Manitoba before selling the Kapyong Barracks site.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Defence said the government filed its appeal late Friday afternoon.
"The main grounds for appeal are that the Federal Court Judge made errors in law with respect to what he ordered and his analysis of the Duty to Consult," said Kathleen Guillot.
This will indefinitely extend the legal battle over the 160 acres of prime real estate at Kenaston Boulevard and Grant Avenue which has now lasted more than five years.
In 2004, the Princess Patricia Light Infantry Unit abandoned the barracks to move west to Shilo, Man. Three years later, the federal government declared the barracks land surplus and moved to sell it to the Canada Lands Company for $8.6 million. CLC, a Crown corporation that redevelops surplus federal land, planned a mix of homes and businesses on the site.
But the seven Treaty One First Nations argue a 1997 agreement gave them the right of first refusal when surplus federal land become available, to fulfill outstanding land entitlements from the 1871 Treaty One. They went to court to challenge Ottawa's decision to sell it without consulting or offering to sell to the First Nations first.
The land in question is only the 160 acres of the barracks themselves, and does not include the military homes surrounding the barracks. That parcel was to be dealt with separately.
In 2009, a federal court judge ordered Ottawa to freeze any sale of the land until consultations were undertaken with the bands. That decision was rescinded on appeal in 2011 and the case was returned to the lower court for another hearing. A second federal judge last month again ordered Ottawa to consult with the First Nations, this time four of the seven.
Ottawa is now appealing that second decision.
Since 2005, taxpayers have spent $14.7 million on the empty barracks, including for utilities, operations and maintenance, property taxes, site security and site management. Several hundred thousand dollars have also been spent by Ottawa on legal fees.
Treaty One First Nations want to develop the site to generate income for their bands, and have said they would be open to ideas that work for both the city and the First Nations.
In December, a high-placed Conservative government source told the Free Press the government was open to selling the land to the First Nations but only on the condition the land not to be turned into an urban reserve.
No date is yet set to argue the appeal.

Shannon Sharpe Credits Best-Selling Sports Nutrition Supplements For Season's Outstanding Performance
Supplements in Off-Season, Now Swears They Increase His Strength and Endurance.
GOLDEN, Colo., Dec. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Behind All-Pro Denver Bronco tight end Shannon Sharpe's outstanding season as one of the NFL's leading receivers is a training program centered around a couple of popular nutritional supplements that Sharpe says have been the most significant contributing factors to his performance this year.
After years of experimenting and giving up on dozens of supplements that promised to increase strength and endurance, Sharpe started taking HMB and creatine-based Phosphagen HP during the last off-season. The results, he told CBS News in a nationally televised story aired recently, were quick, dramatic and obvious.
"HMB and Phosphagen HP helped get me to a higher performance level -- one that I believe could take me to the Pro Bowl," said Sharpe. "My numbers this year are better than I've ever done and I directly attribute that to these supplements. My bodyfat dropped, I can bench press more than twice my weight and my endurance is a lot better -- I'm as fresh in the fourth quarter as I am in the first."
What makes Sharpe's supplement use significant is that HMB and creatine both introduced to the market by Colorado-based Experimental and Applied Sciences, Inc. (EAS) are gaining increasing credibility within the overhyped sports supplements industry as the only products backed by credible university research showing they do what they promise -- help people get better results faster from their exercise program.
"After about a week, I saw results right away," said Sharpe. "When 1 took off my shirt in front of the mirror I could see all my muscles -- abs, triceps, biceps, serratus -- and they were much more defined than before."
Sharpe believes in the EAS products' benefit so much that he agreed to be on the cover of Muscle Media 2000, a bodybuilding and fitness magazine published by EAS CEO, 32-year-old Bill Phillips. It will be the first time that an active professional athlete of Sharpe's prominence has ever been featured in such a publication. And it is an even bigger first for EAS, which unlike other supplement companies has never contracted professional athletes to hawk products they didn't use or couldn't testify to for results.
"I was skeptical at first, as I am of everything that's supposed to increase your performance," said Sharpe, who even before taking HMB and Phosphagen HP was known for his Hulk-like physique and his tendency to flex in
the end-zone after scoring. "But I bought these products in the offseason and saw results right away, so I've been taking them ever since. I'm happy to talk about them because I can honestly say they made a big difference in the way I play. I wouldn't say that if it wasn't true."
What did an All-Pro player like Sharpe want for his endorsement worth potentially millions in sales? A car. And free supplies of HMB and Phosphagen HP.
HMB, or beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate, is a patented amino acid metabolite that caught national attention this year after results from an Iowa State University study showed weight-training athletes who supplemented their daily diets with HMB gained significantly more lean mass and lost more than twice as much fat then the control group. These results, presented in April at a national scientific conference in Washington, D.C., were consistent with the first human clinical study results recently published in the Journal of Applied Physiology.
Creatine, the main ingredient in Phosphagen HP, is a nutrient naturally produced in the human body and also found in various foods including red meat. The human body requires creatine in order to produce energy. Studies including one, recently published in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition have shown that athletes who increase the amount of creatine in their muscles can recover more quickly between bouts of intense physical activity, which is a key factor in athletic performance. EAS recently awarded a $772,000 research grant to fund a three-year creatine study at the University of Nottingham in England that represents the longest, most comprehensive study ever on any fitness supplement.
EAS, which is privately owned and projects 1996 revenues to surpass $100 million, markets and distributes a line of scientifically-designed nutritional supplements through direct sales and more than 8,200 retail outlets. EAS operates from its $6 million headquarters and national distribution center in Golden, Colorado and now has 140 employees.

Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel today said Mumbai required a second airport urgently as the existing one was on the verge of reaching the "saturation point".
"Mumbai, our financial capital, needs to have a second airport fast as the current airport is coming to a saturation point. ... Equal amount of support is required on the (aviation) infrastructure front," he said in the presence of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who inaugurated the new integrated Terminal 3 at the IGI Airport here.
His statement came in the backdrop of delay in the grant of clearance by the Environment Ministry to the Navi Mumbai airport project, which was approved by the Cabinet in May 2007 through the public-private partnership mode.
Mr. Patel had earlier expressed anguish over the delay, saying the day when the existing Mumbai airport would not be allowed to take additional flights was not far. "It has almost come to a stage that it can't take any more traffic".
He had said the situation at the Mumbai airport was so grim that there are hardly a few hours in a day when there is "little space" to carry out maintenance and repairs on the runway.
On the issue of installation of full body scanners at important airports, Patel said "these (scanners) would be installed only after a proper study and analysis. People have objections to it as it invades their privacy."
He also said that very soon Airports Authority of India, which has undertaken the modernisation of 35 non-metro airports, would complete the renovation of terminals by next year and within few days the renovated terminal building of Ahmedabad would be opened.

"I am hosting a bridal shower in a local pub and this invitation was perfect for the occasion. The design team handled all my changes easily. I removed the times from the two circles because I thought it was confusing. I added the registry and hostesses names to the back side. I chose the pearl shimmer finish with regular corners. It turned out perfectly. Utilize the designer review and you can't go wrong."
"The card is simple yet delivers high quality with a bang! The choice given to create a card unique to individual style with one card is such a great thing as well!!"
"I was really please with these cards and with customer service! The card design is perfect for the rustic yet cute theme of the shower, the paper is high quality, and the colors turned out beautifully. During the review stage, I needed to make a few changes and the designer I worked with was very fast at making those changes. I expected the changes to take an extra day or two, but she fixed everything within a matter of an hour. I would order from here again in a heartbeat!"
"I was so pleased when I found this invitation because I had been looking everywhere for a nice and not Christmasy looking red shower invitation. I love the hearts on the back and the quote, "shower Shannon with love.""
"I was very happy with my purchase of the Garden Gowned invitations for my daughter's Bridal Shower. Although they were smaller than I thought them to be (I didn't pay attention to the size measurements) I was very happy with how lovely they are. The design is beautiful on both the front and the back. Service and delivery were prompt and professional. I was sorry I did not order any of the matching extras, so I think I will go back and place another order, it's a lovely set!"

Animation Legend Arthur Rankin Jr. Dies at 89
Arthur Rankin Jr., the animator, producer and director behind the whimsical holiday stop-motion TV specials Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman, has died. He was 89.
Rankin died Thursday at his home in Harrington Sound in Bermuda, The Royal Gazette newspaper reported.
In the early 1960s, Rankin and Jules Bass founded the film production company Videocraft International (now called Rankin/Bass Productions). Their stop-motion, cel-animated features were painstaking to make and known for their doll-like characters.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's Notable Deaths of 2014
Their first production was the syndicated TV series The New Adventures of Pinocchio, which debuted in 1960. A total of 130 five-minute chapters were produced, making for a series of five-chapter, 25-minute episodes.
Their other TV projects included The Ballad of Smokey the Bear (1966), The Wacky World of Mother Goose (1967), Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town (1970), The Little Drummer Boy (1968), The Year Without a Santa Claus (1974) and the 1980s animated series Thundercats.
Their holiday specials air every year and always draw a crowd. In December, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, which debuted in 1964, and Frosty the Snowman, which premiered in 1969, were broadcast by CBS and were the two highest-rated programs of the night.

He and Bass also co-directed The Last Unicorn (1982) with the voices of Jeff Bridges, Mia Farrow, Angela Lansbury, Alan Arkin and Robert Klein. Its musical score and songs were composed and arranged by Jimmy Webb and performed by America.
Other actors who contributed to Rankin/Bass productions included Danny Kaye, James Cagney, Fred Astaire, Boris Karloff, Tallulah Bankhead, George Burns, John Huston, Burl Ives, James Earl Jones, Christopher Lee, Walter Matthau, Vincent Price and Flip Wilson.
Rankin also produced and directed episodes of the animated series Jackson 5ive in the early 1970s and directed an animated version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1973).
A native of New York City, Rankin was the son of actors Arthur Rankin and Marian Manfield, and his grandfather was actor Harry Davenport, who played Dr. Meade in Gone With the Wind (1939).
He started out in the entertainment business as an art director at ABC in the late 1940s.
Survivors include his wife, Olga, and sons Todd and Gardner.

Answer #1patrick mannion from Greg Solow's Engine Room, September 07, 2011, 00:36Master
The fuel tank sender unit tell the gauge in the instrument cluster how much fuel is in the tank and is an input to the computer in your car needed for the computer to run a self test on the evaporative emission system in your car. If the computer can't run the test the check engine light will come on. Some cars require removing the fuel tank to replace the sensor.

Parque conguilio.....brutal!
... no one else was camping there, instead I got the bike through some barbed wire and camped near the river Truful Truful. Another nice self sufficient night, I even had my first campfire, started with my fire steal. I did however cheat and used a tiny bit of ethanol to get it going! Routes on strava https://www.strava.com/activities/23792 0230 https://www.strava.com/activities/23792 0330 https://www.strava.com/activities/23792 ...
Starting 2015 with a bang
... to a huge 93m waterfall, Salto Leon. So far this trip has been pretty heavy in watery things. After messing around at the falls a bit we drove on to find a camping spot. I decided the woods were "too creepy" to spend the night in so we carried on to the edge of Lago Villarica, between Pucon and Villarica town, where we'd read there were a few campsites. We were both starting to get to the tired, hungry and irritable stage that we've (I've) had previous with on ...
There is beauty, and then there is...
... moments to realise your encounter with that rarest of South American commodities... silence. When you reach a clearing, soaring vertical peaks of ice-gouged grey granite surround you on all sides, as if moulded from plasticine and a sign indicates "2 days walk to Argentina". The place is beauty defined, and it is no wonder it is dubbed "the Yosemite of the south" (Yosemite must be amazing...). Even its name holds a bit of magic and mystery.... ...
Too short a time in the Chilean Lake District
... Tony had worn his waterproof trousers on Easter Island but they gave zero protection from the rain and with Patagonia looming he decided to get a decent pair (good job he did, but that's another story).
This was yet another day when I felt like we were only skimming the surface of Chile and that I would love to come back again and spend some time covering certain areas in more detail. This being one of them.
Hanging off the side of a volcano-mountain
... fact there are no paths at all. You are walking in snow steps carved by other people (most of whom are taller than me, things like this count and make a difference) and you are pretty much hanging off the side of a mountain. I�m not great at heights but neither am i really bad at them. Just somewhat bad at them. This was a bit advanced for me though as i would only be relying on myself and my command of the ice-axe to stop myself from falling. I tell you i had a deathgrip on ...

Rep. Ruppersberger: Phone Surveillance Necessary
Updated: Friday, August 2 2013, 10:18 PM EDT
Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger spoke to FOX45 about the recently exposed phone records monitoring program. Ruppersberger called the program necessary and said he's concerned about prosecuting the man that brought the information to the public.
"This individual in my opinion has not only broken the law, but I'm concerned about the issue of treason. I want to know why he's in China right now. China has stolen billions of dollars of our corporate trade secrets."
The best way to identify terrorists, Ruppersberger said, is to put together programs in our intelligence community - "but these programs in no way go after your personal information," he said, unless there's a terrorist situation.

Previous nominee Frances McDormand commands the stage as street-wise
and troubled Margaret in David Lindsay-Abaire's Good People, while
Hannah Yelland feels the insatiable pangs of love in Brief
Encounter, based on the 1945 Noel Coward film. In the revival roles:
Nina Arianda dazzles as a former showgirl who might be more than she
seems in Born Yesterday; Lily Rabe goes head-to-head with fellow
nominee Al Pacino as Portia in The Merchant of Venice; and previous
winner Vanessa Redgrave transforms into the titular take-no-guff
southern belle in the Pulitzer Prize-winning Driving Miss
Daisy. To see photos of the nominees, click here.

Nashville floods - time to begin repair, have ??
Our condo in Nashville was submerged in water 4 feet deep for two days. It is now dry and the drywall has been removed to a height of 5 feet.
We had an electrician over to ask him some questions and it is his opinion that all the wiring and receptacles appear to be working fine but that they need to be replaced due to "water submersion"
His invoice totals $3190 and includes
Remove & Replace 2 outdoor GFI receptacles
Remove & Replace 4 interior GFI receptacles
Remove & Replace 33 interior receptacles
Remove & Replace 15 interior switches
Remove & Replace 1 Range receptacle
Remove & Replace 1 Dryer receptacle
Remove and Replace all electrical wire that has been exposed to flood water
Remove and replace existing switch covers to match new
State Electrical permit and Inspections included
We have two questions...
1. Does the wiring NEED to be replaced?
2. If it does, is the cost quoted reasonable?
3 (I guess I have 3 questions, not two) If it's not reasonable, can you recommend anyone reliable and honest in the Nashville, TN area?
Many thanks for your help. There are a lot of scam and con men going around taking advantage of everyone and we can't afford to become victims.

Kelly Clarkson Is Pregnant!
Congrats to Kelly Clarkson and her new husband, Brandon Blackstock! They are expecting their first child.
Congrats to Kelly Clarkson and her new husband, Brandon Blackstock! They are expecting their first child.
Newly married Kelly Clarkson has been saying she wants to be a mom soon -- but could she already be expecting?
Congrats to Kelly Clarkson, the new Mrs. Brandon Blackstock!
Kelly Clarkson was in the midst of a battle that was bigger than the ones she fought on live TV against Justin Guarini as a contestant on the first season of 'American Idol.' Okay, not really. The singer was sort of fighting with a U.K. museum over possession of a ring once owned by revered English writer Jane Austen. The "fight" has come to its logical end and has been resolved.
Kelly Clarkson has called off her wedding, but not her marriage.
The video includes images of real-life couples celebrating their big day!
With only months to go until her October 20 wedding to Brandon Blackstock, Kelly Clarkson can't wait to put a ring on it! The 'People Like Us' singer is so excited that she even tweeted one of her engagement pictures.
Season 4 of TLC's genealogy documentary series 'Who Do You Think You Are?' premiered on Tuesday (July 23), and Kelly Clarkson learned that she's related to a Civil War hero.
Kelly Clarkson can absolutely do no wrong and her awesomeness knows no bounds. Her most recent exploration into amazing comes to us in the form of a cover of the Mumford & Sons' song 'I Will Wait' at her concert stop in Chicago.
Today we have seen some crazy "bridezillas", but it seems like Kelly Clarkson is a very excited bride to be.
It was recently revealed that the folks behind 'American Idol' were planning to wipe their entire judges table clean and start anew admist plummeting ratings. But with the series at a personal all-time low, could a past 'Idol' standout reinvigorate it? It's been revealed that former contestant and Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson has signed on as judge for the next season.
Kelly Clarkson won not only the Best Pop Vocal Album award at the 2013 Grammys, but also our hearts.

Check out the adorable graphics for our panels at PAX East. I'm really looking forward to talking about Project Untold.
PAX East Panels
The schedule is up for PAX East! You can see it here. Looks like an interesting lineup. I see quite a few intriguing panels I need to catch.
Both of my panels are on Saturday. One is first thing in the morning; the other's in the late evening. Going to be a long day!
The Censorship panel is my brainchild. Recently, it's been clear to me that many people have no idea what censorship is or how games are made. I tried to find knowledgeable speakers from every corner of the industry—AAA to indie to mobile—and I'm gratified by the expertise and experience represented on the panel. We're looking forward to dispelling some myths.
For the empathy games panel, I'll speak openly about Project Untold for the first time. And there are some talented indie devs talking about games like This War of MIne and Always Sometimes Monsters. You can learn more about that panel over on Ken Gagne's blog.
Here's the info from the PAX schedule.
Dead Scare
I'm delighted to be part of a stretch goal for Dead Scare. Elsa S. Henry wrote the game, which is "a 1950s, alt-history zombie apocalypse game where all of the characters are the women and children survivors of a Russian viral attack." The creators sought out "female-identified, non-binary, WoC, disabled, or otherwise not-cis-white-dudes to write 500 city guides" as stretch goals for their Kickstarter. Each guide will provide inside information about a region of the country the writer knows well. I, of course, snagged Washington, DC.
I had to write up a new bio for the project, and I like it so much that it might become my official resume summary.
Anna Megill spent a decade working on titles for companies like Hasbro, Nintendo, ArenaNet, Airtight/Square Enix, and Ubisoft before switching to indie games. Currently, she's writing visual novels for Project Untold. As the frequent winner of titles like "Most Likely to Die First in a Horror Movie" and "Most Reluctant Zombie Dog Killer," Anna looks forward to helping you learn from her terrible mistakes.
I'll post more information and links to the Kickstarter when they're available.
PAX East Panels on the Horizon
Now that MAGFest is over, it's time to focus on my next set of panels. I'm excited to take part in two panels at PAX East this year. Both deal with topics I've been itching to discuss.
Censored! Do Gamedevs Have Creative Freedom?
Creative freedom in games has been a hot topic lately. But what's the truth? Do game developers have the freedom to make the games they want? Five industry veterans give you the inside story. From "too much" sex and violence to the ESRB, find out what it takes to overcome industry restrictions and turn creative ideas into games. Saturday, March 7th at 8:00pm in the Condor Theatre.
- Kim Swift [Lead Designer, Amazon]
- Anna Megill [Creative Director, Project Untold]
- Brianna Wu [Head of Development, Giant Spacekat]
- Mike Bithell [Boss Man, Mike Bithell Games]
- John Ryan [Writer, ArenaNet & TBA]
And Ken Gagne already wrote up the details for my other panel on his blog, so here's the info for that:
I hope to see some familiar faces there. If you're at PAX East, please come by and say howdy.
Global Game Jam 2015 Pre-Jam Power Panel at MAGFest
Wow, that title is a mouthful! It sounds so formal when the reality was chill. Alexander Brandon, James, Portnow, Lindsay Grace, and I spoke to a small-but-passionate audience of Jam participants. It was a lot of fun.
The panel room was intimidating.
But the audience was friendly and asked great questions. My fellow panelists offered some sage advice. I enjoyed it.
As my important notes from the panel show, though, I was distracted the entire time by a bird flying around the room.
I'm excited for MAGFest to post the panel video so everyone can see us watching the bird fly around. Gripping entertainment.
I'll be back at MAGFest tomorrow to judge the Jam games. Looking forward to seeing some creative takes on this year's theme: "What do we do now?"
Panels Galore!
I'm on a lot of panels in the next few months, so you have no excuse for not seeing me speak. ^^
MAGFest 1/23/15, : I'll be giving out sage industry advice with Alexander Brandon (Unreal, Deus Ex), James Portnow (Extra Credits), Lindsay Grace (Mindtoggle Games, AU) on the Pre-Jam Power Panel kicking off this year's Global Game Jam.
I'll also be speaking on two panels at PAX East and a panel at ECGC. Details about those events to follow.
Come say hi to me!
Project Untold and Patreon
Project Untold is underway! I've spent the last two months writing up early design documents and writing lore, character bios, plot summaries—all the fun stuff. My next step is collaborating with the artists, designers, and animators to make my ideas into concrete assets and gameplay. I love this part of the game-making process.
Unfortunately, I can't live off creative energy alone. Giant Spacekat is funding Untold with venture capital, but that takes time. I have to survive in the meantime. So I set up a patreon. Patronage allows me to pay my bills and keep working on Untold while GSK looks for investors.
I'm gratified to say that I'm halfway to my first milestone, thanks to the support of some lovely people.
Writer's Block and Science
Reality flows in. Imagination flows out.
According to the latest scientific research, reality and imagination flow in opposite directions in the brain. Reality starts with low-level processing then moves to high-level cognition, while fantasy starts deep in the brain and flows out to low-level processing areas. It's an enormously satisfying visual representation of how I always thought imagination worked.
When writing, every scene starts with a spare idea. A bar fight, for example. This grain of thought accretes layers of detail as I work on it. Who is fighting, where, why. Then what they look like, the smell of the bar, the motion of a swinging fist, the sound of bone on flesh. All the tiny sensory elements that make a scene vivid come last. The flow from the high tower of ideas to the earthy reality of a fist to the face.
This past year, I had the worst case of writer's block I've ever had. I was going through a bad time personally and was very shut-down and depressed. Cored by grief. And my writing showed it. I couldn't get from idea to detail. It was like the flow stopped before it reached the sensory stage. I couldn't get to that place where I picture the scene as if I'm living it in my brain and transcribing an eyewitness account. My writing was all ideas, no substance. I recognized the problem, but couldn't fix it. Which made the block even more painful.
As I healed, the writer's block eased up. I started seeing the drama again, not just knowing intellectually how it should play out. I could write with my senses again. And now science confirms what I felt all along about how writing moves through my mind.
Writer's block is a terrible thing to suffer through. Losing your means to cope with pain and stress when you're at your most pained and stressed is a cruel joke. I hope this study means that someday it will be curable.
Interview with The Mary Sue
A while back I tweeted something about how great it would be if gaming sites interviewed women about their work instead of always asking us to talk about harassment or what it's like being a woman in the industry. To my delight, Emma Fissenden contacted me not long afterward about an interview for The Mary Sue. TMS is featuring a new series on their site: interviews with women in tech about their work. It's exactly what I was hoping for. Judging by the comments, I'm not the only person thirsting for more substantive chats with women gamemakers. I hope other sites pay attention and follow suit.
Here's my interview.
Giant Spacekat Options My Interactive Novels
Brianna Wu's studio, Giant Spacekat, has optioned my idea for a series of interactive novels. Here is Brianna's announcement:
If you're interested in being part of the project, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Here are the job descriptions:
It's critical that candidates are the right fit for this unique project. A willingness to learn and grow is prized above industry credentials, so don't let a lack of experience stop you from applying. To start out, all roles will be full-time, REMOTE positions unless otherwise noted. More information about the requirements and responsibilities will be available during the application process, under an NDA.
- 2D/3D Artists:
We're looking for versatile artists who can translate their concept art into game assets. Your striking, original work will set the art style for each game. A strong understanding of visual storytelling is essential for this role. Previous game experience is preferred, but not required. Please provide portfolios/links.
- PR/Marketing Lead:
You should be an innovative thinker, willing to explore unusual and nontraditional avenues to reach our audience. You will form and help maintain a large, active online community. Experience with user acquisition, promotions, and social media is required. Familiarity with video editing software is a plus. This position will start immediately upon hire.
- Programmer:
Must know C++ and have experience coding professionally. This position requires strong interpersonal skills. Candidates will be good collaborators and communicators. Visual scripting, Unreal 4, and game development experience are a plus. This will be the senior programming position on the project. This position cannot be worked remotely.
The Rest of Us
Race in Videogames: it's Not Just One Group of People That Suffers From Tropes
I've thought about the issue of race in games a lot recently. I'm most vocal about the troubling representation of women in games because that's what I know best, but I'm also painfully aware of the void where people of color should be. When POC are shown, they are stereotyped, sexualized, or exoticized.
I'm working on a game project right now that plans to do better. Diversity and inclusivity are pillars not just of the games, but of the company helping me make them. I want people who never get to see themselves as the heroes in video games to finally discover how good it feels to save the day. I want people of all genders and sexualities to have romance options. And not just one option: many. I want to make games about the people that have been left out all this time. The rest of us.
Game Design Textbook Recommendations
A student wrote me for advice on game design textbooks. I didn't go to design school, so I asked the industry professionals I knew on Twitter. They gave me the following recommendations (alphabetized):
- Andrew Rollings and Ernest Adams on Game Design
- The Art of Game Design; A Book of Lenses
- Chris Crawford on Game Design
- Game Design Workshop: A Playcentric Approach to Creating Innovative Games
- Game Feel: A Game Designer's Guide to Virtual Sensation
- Rules of Play: Game Design Fundamentals
- Theory of Fun for Game Design (<--This last one was called out for being sexist, but clearly there's been an attempt to fix that.
Here's a recommended library for designers:
Plus a crash course in hands-on design:
If you have more recommendations, please suggest them in the comments.
Call for Talent
As many of you already know, a development studio has optioned my games. We're in pre-pre-production now (if such a thing exists) and are putting together our initial team. We'll formally announce the project in the future and will list additional information and positions on the studio website as the project grows. But right now, we're looking to fill only a few key roles.
The Project
The games will be story-focused, mid-size games for multiple platforms. Each game will have a unique visual style. Diversity and inclusivity will be cornerstones of our game designs, so we encourage open minds to apply. Pre-production with a small team is scheduled for January 2015.
It's critical that candidates are the right fit for this unique project. A willingness to learn and grow is prized above industry credentials, so don't let a lack of experience stop you from applying. All roles will be full-time, in-house positions at the Boston studio unless otherwise noted. More information about the requirements and responsibilities will be available during the application process, under an NDA. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com with resumes and inquiries.
- 2D/3D Artists:

Kentucky Route Zero In Real Life.
I am in deep, soul-kiss love with Kentucky Route Zero. Having it fray the edges of the real world with phone messages and an ebay auction was a gift from the devs. If you haven't called the line yet, do it now. Stop everything. Shut the door. Sit down with a whisky-based cocktail, and call.
The "Are you holding a snake right now?' option is pure delight.
Also, Here's an article discussing the beauty of KRZ0's regional voice: http://www.popmatters.com/post/187760-regional-authenticity-and-video-games/
Game Pitches
I recently pitched some games to a small studio in New England. It was my first time pitching my own work and I was nervous, but it was also the first time I believed 100% that the project would be a successful one. I'd love the challenge of writing those stories. And I understand my target market, from the inside out.
I've been researching the market for my game ideas for several years now, watching what they watch, participating in their forums, going to shows and gatherings, interviewing them, gathering data—and making friends. It's safe to say that they won me over and I became a part of their various fandoms. It was fun. And educational. I saw that these women—for they are overwhelmingly women—are underserved by the games industry. These women are willing to spend hundreds of dollars to travel to a con for a 5-minute, $150. photo op with the stars of their favorite shows. They will buy every collectible and special edition you put out. Most important of all, they spend hours creating videos, gifs, manips, headcanons, fanfic, and contests about their interests. It's partly an expression of their passion as fans, but it's partly because they want a deeper involvement in their interests—an investment and immersion—than they are provided. So they make it themselves.
I got into the games industry because I wanted to make games for women. I don't mean "pink" games. I mean games that women can enjoy playing, without those moments of eye-rolling sexism or crushing misogyny that remind women it wasn't made for them. Games where women can be the hero, too, and not just window dressing. Games that let them escape from reality a bit.
Not this.
I'm not putting pink games down. If that's what you like to play, then play on. But those aren't the kind of games I want to make. And they aren't the kinds of games the women I'm targeting want to play.
So when I was approached by the New England studio for game ideas, I knew exactly what I wanted to pitch.
And they loved it.
They got it. They saw the potential.
But (there's always a "but") they aren't ready to make them. For various reasons I can't discuss, it would be a while before they could make my games. It might still happen, but not right away. It's strange to have a pitch succeed, yet end up feeling like it failed. But that's where I am right now.
Another studio has expressed interest in hearing my ideas, so I'll pitch to them and see what happens. In the meantime, I guess it's time to see what existing projects I'd like to be a part of.
The Creativity of Limits
Kabe Wilson reassembled the words of Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own to tell an entirely different story about modern racial and cultural politics. This short article is a great read about his process and how unexpected connections informed his word choices.
When I talk about how collaborative the gamewriting process is, people often ask me if I'm bothered by the limitations. The answer is no. Parameters can inspire creativity, because you must figure out how to tell your story within those constraints. The story of how Kabe Wilson linked Woolf's writing to Toni Morrison and Howard University is a wonderful example of this kind of forced creativity. Thinking outside (or around) the box can lead to serendipities and epiphanies. You often end up with more original story ideas because you couldn't go the traditional route or employ the usual tropes. It's more difficult to work within constraints. And it can require more research and more examination. But if you succeed, the payoff is profound.
That being said, too many constraints don't leave you any room to move and that stifles creativity. So there's a fine line.
Interview with Less Than or Equal
I had a lovely chat with Aleen Simms at Less Than or Equal about gamewriting, diversity, and games stuff. You'll have to forgive my audio quality. I didn't have a headset and I was losing my voice, so I sound like a hoarse robot.
Game Journal
Or maybe Journal Game? I'm not sure what to call it yet, but it's an idea I've been kicking around since last fall. I was working on a bunch of short stories about gamifying everyday life, and I kept thinking, "Wrong medium." What better way to discuss that kind of gamification than to make a game of it? So I'm thinking of creating an open-ended Twine game, loosely based on the events of my recent life. An interactive journal. I'm not sure how much interest there would be in something so personal, but it will be fun to work on. I might even start a Patreon to fund it. This project will give me something to focus on while I'm getting my head together. If I can earn a little money for it, all the better, but that's not its purpose.
I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, if you know of any interactive journals or games about the dailiness of life, please link me to them.
Tomorrow it will be one month since my Old Man Cat died. Everybody knows Codille's death hit me hard and that grief laid me low for a while. I still miss him every single day. I've had a tribute to him on the front page of this website for a while, but now I'm moving it here. It's not about forgetting him or our fifteen years as companions—I never will—but I need to stop focusing on my grief and start trying to put my life back together.
New Adventures
I'm leaving Quebec City and heading home to DC for a little break. While I'm there, I'm interested in taking on new projects. Something small and fun would be exciting. If you're an indie company or small studio looking for a writer, or if you have a project that you think I could help with, please drop me a note through my Contact page. I'm looking for new adventures. ^^
Note: Many of you have written to support me and to lament that you don't know of any projects in the DC area. First of all, thank you all so much for your encouragement and kindness. It means more to me than you know. Second, I'm going to DC to regroup; I'm not necessarily staying there long term. And I'm emerging from this experience with the need to work on a meaningful project. So if you know of small or indie companies ANYWHERE who are looking for a talented gamewriter, or if you know of someone working on a game that screams "Anna" to you, please let me know.
