Industry Lecture: Alistair Aitchison

For this Industry Lecture we had Alistair Aitchision who creates unusual but interesting mobile games in the ways of how you can play with them and their variables. In the way of how your surroundings can be a factor of the gameplay. On his take of video games, he takes into account of the ways you can change games with different variables from your surroundings to how you play the game. With his presentation he started off with a strong introduction about him and his work. But the what happens next is interesting as we got to play one of his games where we must scan peoples bar codes to match items. Which is totally different to other presentations we have had from other people from the games industry. This was rather interesting as it allows the audience to interact with the Lecture making it more memorable to the others.

This is an interesting factor which I will take in mind for our own presentation in ways we could keep the audience engaged in the presentation. Making it more memorable for the audience to remember what the presentation is about and the points we have brought up. These games he has created are mainly mobile games which is rather useful for our presentation. As we can get in contact with him on his view on mobile games and some questions we could ask him about mobile gaming.
