- Imagine you as a local city mayor, where people live happily and where you manage city infrastructures, like roads, buildings, fire departments, police, collect taxes, etc.
- Imagine that city has a railroad and amusement parks, where you manage and build them for the city mayor. - Imagine you as a citizen living in that city, working as a police, fireman or any other job, living in a building, paying your taxes, walking your pet, living happily while interacting with other people living also there. - Imagine that weekend where you went to see a football match, in that beautiful stadium builded by the city mayor, sitting next to people you know. - Imagine that stadium is managed and the football team has a great manager. They're all sweating for that champion title, game after game, annihilating the opponent team. - Imagine that you're one of those football team players, playing each game as your last one, making great moves match after match, gaining your manager trust. Now, imagine all that as a whole world where everything is connected. That's the day where games will have API's and will interact with each other, as a working world or being just small pieces of a bigger thing. That's a world where Simcity, Railroad Tycoon, Sims, Football Manager and Fifa all work together and provide you a real world gaming experience. You could start anywhere, doing anything and by motivation or karma, just get into the next level. If you're a Sims character and like football, you'll just have to buy FootBall Manager or Fifa, access it with your "online account" and "boom". You're now connected and living in a real world, where there's real live consequences while people playing. It's the Game 2.0 experience, where each game talks and listens, through API's. The day where will be gaming data portability. Dear lazy web, tell me, are we far or getting close to that kind of gaming reality ? ps: this thought was brought to you by the 7syntax crew lunch talk. //VD _______________________________________________ tce mailing list [email protected] http://lists.paradigma.pt/mailman/listinfo/tce
