What is the next big game this fall?
Gem Mine of course! As Gem mine is the first major project to be released by Katey Bluel and myself, I'm going to go back to the beginning and tell the story of how it began. The origin may surprise you.
As part of the Digital Entertainment Technology (DET) degree at Abilene Christian University (ACU), one of the assignments was to learn about mobile application development. The assignment was to simply change three things... and Katey and I changed pretty much everything. But, the true origin of the game is from much earlier. Fall Sophmore year, I took an honors colloquium entitled "Based on the Book" where we analyzed source materials and adaptations and what an adaptation says about the adapter: what information did they see as important, what reasons where there for changing certain details, etc.
