NEW MEDIA: Facade
Mark Bernstein has an interesting post regarding Facade and the rules and regulations of use. I think that since the program came out a few years ago we all revisit the game and the website to see what’s developed.
Unfortunately, nothing much seems different except that the download isn’t a 9-gig killer as it was when we all first took it on. I would have thought that since the program was fairly simplistic in its presentation–thought I’m sure a lot, a real lot of complicated stuff went into the programing–it would have been updated by now or expanded upon as an interactive piece.
I’m heeding Mark’s post because what I’d like to try in Storyspace some time is an interactive narrative that includes audio and graphics and Heaven knows I don’t want to be accused of using the Facade basis in my work.
