The place to discuss, share content and offer tips and advice to OTT - "Over the Top" streaming and Transmedia – the technique of telling a single story or story across multiple platforms including, but not limited to, games, books, events, films and television.
Here's an interesting podcast with my friend Krisna Stott about the great line-up of the upcoming conference The Modern Audience (online event, Feb 2nd), and the importance of interaction in crisis scenario design. Let me know what you think.

Hey Florin, this is Karen from the Stage 32 team. I just wanted to let you know I moved your post from Anything Goes to OTT & Transmedia (since this is about Video Games), as it fits much better there. Let me know if you have any questions and all the best to you!
"...Splash Wave is focused on documenting the 16bit era of video games from a creative, business and technical perspective..."

This is really cool! The 16-bit era gave us some of the most amazing video games.
So, the newest film studio is set to be built in space as part of "space tourism".
Does this have anything to do with the Metaverse? I feel like they are two sides of the same coin. Like Interstellar and Ready Player One.
What the literal F...

This is particularly sweet because it was in this very lounge that you originally posted, which lead you to write your blog. How serendipitous! So excited for you!
Oh wow. This is great! Sharing your blog on Twitter and LinkedIn.
Mine is probably Altered Carbon. But I wish I had experienced more indie stuff!
My own character, "Joe Plant". https://www.joeplant2021.com
I would say "Harry Potter", but there are aspects that are too similar to our own right now, and I'm not so down with that. But I will happily live in a castle in Scotland. Just putting that out there :-D
For a very long time, it was Star Wars, but now I would say the one I'm building with Titan Effect. :)
Ha ha. You knew the first answer. But The Dark Knight. Hands down.
Here is a new acquisition with lots of cross-media or even transmedia potential. Asmodee is one of the leading international games publishers and distributors, which is now held by Embracer Group AB, a Swedish video game holding company. I'm quite curious to see what will happen next.

As am I... the acquisition phase of world domination seems to be in effect :-/
I joke, but in all honesty - series is a great way to unpack all the storytelling of video games. What do you think they can do on this round to keep up the good work?

Fallout has a fascinating universe, and the first two games and Fallout: New Vegas had stellar writing. So with a team like that, we could see something great. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but with t...

This was a few months ago, but had you heard? I don't think I knew that Webtoon was a South Korean company, or that Wattpad was Canadian.
But let's see what they've done since - have you heard about any of their latest releases? How is it all performing?

Webtoon is booming, so this could be really interesting.
As interactive stories can be an important part of any transmedia project, I found this article about multi-branching narratives quite interesting. Let me know what you think.

Ooooo, these maps are giving me LIFE! I love it! Thank you so much for sharing!
Here's an interesting article about the metaverse. So far, everything I heard about the metaverse comes from a corporate viewpoint, so it's refreshing to hear someone like Phil Spencer taking into account the point of view of creators and players. What do you think?

I really appreciated Spencer''s take, and feel like metaverse at the moment is just a buzzword that many companies follow with words that look empty because of fear of missing out. I hope that creator...

Hello Entertainment Friends, I'm putting together a list of all the transmedia books I can find. So far this is what I've got. If you know of any books that are not on this list, can you please share them in this thread?

@Debbie I want them all in audio as well! I constantly wonder about how to get these niche books on audio in a way that benefits everyone involved… Maybe there’s a crowdsourcing idea here. We could get Richard Botto’s advice!
@Christian, I have a bunch of people I can recommend based on exactly what you’re looking for! Can you message me directly?

Very interesting. It seems if you create a game world environment you can get multiple story lines, if you invest in the environment up front.
Indeed. It's not video games, but I wrote an article here on Stage 32 about how creating a tabletop RPG can help writing a TV series, and other storylines.

Now we are at the point where the game environment can be a virtual set, as used in Avitar. I absolutely agree with you Christian..
