Interview link here: http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=283 Tale of Tales is a games development studio, founded by Auriea Harvey and Michaël Samyn in Belgium in 2002. The purpose of Tale of Tales is to create elegant and emotionally rich interactive entertainment, to explicitly cater for people who are not enchanted by most contemporary computer games, or who wish for more variety in their gameplay experiences. To this end all of their products feature innovative forms of interaction, engaging poetic narratives and simple controls. Tale of Tales started life with the design of 8, an epic single player PC adventure game inspired by the various versions of the folk tale, Sleeping Beauty. Maria Chatzichristodoulou [aka maria x] is a PhD Candidate at the Goldsmiths Digital Studios and Drama Department, University of London & Sessional Lecturer at Birkbeck College FCE. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
