“This web­site attempts to walk you through the long and diverse his­to­ry of a par­tic­u­lar aspect of human endeav­our: The trans­la­tion of ideas, sto­ries and con­cepts that are large­ly tex­tu­al and/or word based into a visu­al for­mat, i.e. visu­al communication.”

Very inter­est­ing “Col­lab­o­ra­tive Pro­duc­tion Game” that seems to be designed in a pret­ty nifty man­ner. The site describes its work­ing in great detail, so it’s a good learn­ing tool for game design­ers involved with sim­i­lar projects.

Cov­er­age from the Escapist on Project Horse­shoe — a game design retreat that gath­ers some of the bright­est minds in the field to tack­le hard problems.
