Interactive Thesis Show

I went to the opening for USC Interactive Department's thesis show this past Saturday. See info here:

I found the conceptual intention behind Jesse Vigil's design to be particularly interesting. I also enjoyed playing the game because I was slowly guided through it by a human voice in a humorous narrative way. Here's what he says about it:
"While on the surface a game about telekinetic fish, ORIGINAL FIN is the showcase for something Jesse calls Adaptive Story Architecture. Using simple universal programming tricks and a method cribbed from the personality quizzes in women's magazines, the game uses the your own personal play style to make determinations about what will happen next in the game's story."
Unfortunately, I do not have screen shots for most of the projects.
