J.T. Velikovsky a professional screenwriter for film, tv and games, and is based in Australia. He has worked for Fox Studios Australia, as a creator and writer of a sci-fi TV series, and for all the major studios in Australia as a script analyst. However. The thing he enjoys most, is talking about himself in the third person. Much like this. He is also a graduate of the Australian Film, Television and Radio School in Sydney. The AFTRS is Australia's national training centre for media, and other alumni include Phil Noyce (director, The Saint, Clear & Present Danger), Jane Campion (director, The Piano) and P.J. Hogan (director, My Best Friend's Wedding). If you are a producer or a studio, J.T. may have several scripts that you may want to read (see features and tv sections of this site). Fear not, the scripts themselves are protected by copyright, by the Australian Writer's Guild, by his agent, and a moat filled with sharks. Contact him by email (joetv(at)bigpond.com), if you would like to read a script, and his agent will get it to you.
Here's some useful videogames sites... Inside of the Games
Development world, the key web site is always As for writing or design, IMHO anything by Game Design guru Ernest W Adams is ace, this is his site: http://www.designersnotebook.com/ And Prof Henry Jenkins from MIT is always pure gold too... http://www.joystick101.org/comments/2001/1/3/25426/40957/0/post Also `Developmag' is good: http://www.developmag.com/ In games publishing, `DailyRadar' used to be great but shut down a few years back. Sadly. Another good one is www.BigKid.com.au for Aussie local news... and www.sumea.com.au The yearly official Aussie Game Developer conference is the AGDC, I have been a speaker occasionally: http://www.agdc.com.au/ The big `world' one is E3: http://www.e3expo.com/ In Oz, the only Computer Games degree is at Bathurst CSU, but there are a few tertiary courses around: http://charybdis.mit.csu.edu.au/games/ Games have all come a long way from the humble Aussie Microbee - but the principles have stayed rock-solid: graphics, technology and the look are immaterial, if it's fun to play, it's a great game. Case in point: Elasto-Mania. www.elastomania.com/ A simple but terrific motorbike platform game. Hours to waste there... :^)
these here are just plain fun: - ELIZA:
the original `Psycho-an-eliza', by Joe Weizenbaum. basic Rogerian psychotherapy
in a pc. "Tell me about your mother…" - SpaceWar! (the original - and best - video game) n.b. - requires two human players. http://lcs.www.media.mit.edu/groups/el/projects/spacewar/ Sodaplay.
Build a robot-monster in your pc's basement… It's alive! The Temple of
Artificial Life. Like the sign says. I've always enjoyed Richard
Dawkins' stuff, ever since The Selfish Gene. cellular automata.
deeply cool. The Onion.
just because I need a good laff. Free Will Astrology.
not sure how, but that Rob Brezny really seems to nail it with his horoscopes…
weird. you ask me, everyone else just makes it up :^)
