Game Player Developers Needed
Posted by Jeremiah on 2007/03/05
A research project at the MIT Media Lab titled The Restaurant Game needs the participation of thousands of game players to assist with development. The game will algorithmically combine the gameplay experiences of thousands of players to create a new game. In a few months, the heads of the project will apply machine learning algorithms to the data collected through the multiplayer game to produce a new single-player game, which will be entered into the 2008 Independent Games Festival. Researchers add that everyone who plays the Restaurant Game will be credited as a game designer. via MacNN
