Immersion - hribek - 11-19-2009 Awesome Immersion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVJHHRhxWy8&NR=1 ' Wrote:A post on the subject of immersion whilst we wait for Bluespawn to finish the slideshow presentation on my failings and n00bl3t to post his zing. This idea could use a revisit, though I feel very satisfied with the Lane Hacker Comm Frequency on Skype. Sometimes I wish to publish parts of it, but it always contains private content (for the faction and its plans) that it would be contraproductive. This is not a thread about the Hackers, but I feel like our chat helps the immersion, not the other way around. Edit: Also this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7FVopkl9Mk...feature=related And it won't hurt to watch the original Freelancer intro one more time, I bet.

Might be fun to have a Gaian character and Planetform one as well. Immersion - eyvind - 11-19-2009 ' Wrote:Awesome Immersion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVJHHRhxWy8&NR=1 Added!

This is not a thread about the Hackers, but I feel like our chat helps the immersion, not the other way around. The Lane Hacker chat was the first thing that came to mind when I read Dusty's post. It maintains a sort of casual balance between OOC notices and role-play. Things are often said in in-universe terms, even though we don't exactly roleplay. It makes the entire experience more immersive and enjoyable. EDIT: Added it to the list as well. Immersion - sovereign - 11-19-2009 ' Wrote:Awesome Immersion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVJHHRhxWy8&NR=1 My jaw hasn't gotten off the floor yet. Skype is a useful tool when used properly- to settle disputes, go "ZOMG HALP WE'RE GETTING PWNED", and to do sensitive planning/brainstorming. But I agree, the forums and ingame are far more effective- and can be even more effective than we usually have them be. Compare your average comm channel thread to the Rheinland government's invitation to the GMG guildmasters a few months ago. Then again, there's still a problem with that- it's people giving presentations back and forth. It's a dialogue, but it can be a bit awkward sometimes, and Skype is more natural for some talks. Then again, make sure you always know if a skype chat is in or out of roleplay... (I'm looking at you, Divine). We have a lot of tools at our disposal to make things more immersive. Since you've pointed it out, I think my next communique will be more along the lines of this rather than the usual "incoming transmission". Mm, now I want to write more stories... |
