the bloggist

I'm David Fono, and I'm a pervasive gaming consultant. That means I develop unconventional games that surround people and bring them together. I am also quite handy with the internet. More!

    I made another game.

    December 8th, 2007

    Yup, that’s what I’ve been doing.

    In (very) brief, Ghost Town is a mashup between the physical world, SMS, VOIP and Bluetooth. Players look for stickers around Perth. When they SMS the codes on these stickers to our system, they get back response texts, phone calls, images, and MP3 files that tell a story and present puzzles that must be solved in order to progress. The story and the puzzles focus on Perth’s urban environment.

    Was that too much text for a link? That might have been too much text for a link.

    The meta-site is woefully under-developed at the moment, as we’ve been quite caught up in actually producing and running the game — which ends Sunday, so we’ll shortly be updating with more detailed documentation, press coverage, etc. And I’ll be talking a lot more about it once I regain my sanity.

    I think this is pretty nifty!
