This was such a fun presentation! I really love games and seeing everyone’s varying experiences with games was really interested. I play fighting and mobile games pretty regularly so it was fun to expand the discussion to seeing different genres and types of games.
Seeing the different game to animation and animation to game adaptations was really interesting as well. Ultimately, what I took away from this presentation was that when we’re adapting stories (game <-> animation), we have to understand the medium’s level of interactivity versus passive engagement.
It was nice to see commercial examples like “Arcane” from the game series League of Legends, as well as game-inspired short films like “Octane” (2018).
I was a bit traumatized by the film “Delusional” (2020) and had a few restless nights as a result #lol?
