Student Game Postmortem - Chase the Chicken
Beth A. Dillon writes "The CMP Game Career Guide website for aspiring developers and game students has been launched, with several useful resources available to people wanting an in to the games industry. As an inspiration, the Student Postmortem: Chase the Chicken details what went right and wrong for an Art Institute of Vancouver project." From the article: "In Chase the Chicken, players assume the role of Chase, the frantic chicken, who narrowly escapes the blade of an oversized and over-zealous Chef. What follows is a ridiculously chaotic pursuit through a South American village with Chef and fanatical villagers clipping at Chase's tail-feathers. Inspired loosely by the opening sequence in the film City of God (Miramax, 2002), the idea was a bit of a tough sell to a team of students... but that's a topic for later."
Choke the Chicken. Then I thought, "Holy Hell! You can die from that? And if so, why would anyone want to write a postmortem about it."
If you're looking here for something insightful or thought provoking, you're probably looking in the wrong place.
So now that I've RTFA I realise it is a computer game. Good god you people...If you're going to sit at home and play this game you are sad - like playing cricket on the PC instead of wandering out into the backyard. Why not get the 10-15 people on the server with you to meet up and do this IRL? It's far more fun! And if you haven't informed the local police of what the hell you're upto you may even be arrested!
I ate your fish.
