If on a summer’s night a game designer… is an analogue (non-electronic) game design jam. Participants will be given an entire season to create a playable draft of an original game inspired by the works, the stories or the writing style of Italo Calvino.
The theme of the jam is “Italo Calvino”. This means you should create an original game inspired by the Italian writer, a game in which it is possible to breathe the air of Calvino’s books and tales. Of course it is not necessary to limit to the stories Calvino wrote. Creativity is encouraged; therefore you can also take cue from his writing style or his innovations in the literary field, in terms of story building or narrative deconstruction. Feel free to explore the theme in every possible way.
If on a summer’s night a game designer… will run during next summer, from June 20th to September 22th.
