<hr />
<div>[http://www.paxsite.com/paxeast/ PAX East] is an annual convention put on by the team at [http://www.penny-arcade.com/ Penny Arcade]. You should go. [[PAX East 2010 | Last year]] rocked.<br />
<br />
== Rooms ==<br />
<br />
Just like last year, we will have an IF Hospitality Suite (in the Westin, we think). This will be open noon-midnight on Friday, noon-midnight Saturday, and noon-3pm Sunday.<br />
<br />
In addition, we will have an IF function room (also in the Westin) on Saturday only. (See Dave's notes below.) We'll schedule our larger events there.<br />
<br />
Both rooms will be open to the public, and will ''not'' require a PAX badge.<br />
<br />
== Official PAX events ==<br />
<br />
PAX has confirmed the following two events on their schedule. (These events ''will'' require a PAX badge.) Neither is IF-specific, but these are the ones including IF people:<br />
<br />
* "How to fund your game development project with Kickstarter" (Friday - 12:30 pm - Cat Theatre) -- Cindy Au, Andrew Plotkin, Joshua Newman, Evan Balster<br />
* "Interactive Drama: Dialogue as Gameplay" (Friday - 2:00 pm - Cat Theatre) -- Jonathon Myers, Stephen Dinehart, Evan Skolnick, Emily Short, John Gonzalez<br />
<br />
== Events in our IF rooms ==<br />
<br />
Schedules are not yet finalized (they're not even initialized), so please add panel or event ideas here.<br />
<br />
* We all go out to eat before PAX (Thursday night). (Zarf will set this up)<br />
* I'd like to propose we do an open Speed-IF on Saturday. We'll do the madlib topic selections in the early afternoon and people have until 10pm to submit their works to me. - [[David Cornelson]]<br />
* An IF play event. (Basically a real-life ClubFloyd -- we throw a game up on a projector screen and give somebody the keyboard. Someone else reads the output out loud.) (What game?)<br />
* Grue Street IF writer's workshop. (Somewhat modified to be a public event. People bring in-progress IF work, we play them together and critique.)<br />
* Suggestion: IF-room discussion on puzzles as a way to tell story, not just a pacing device or way to control access<br />
* "Setting as character in narrative games" -- I proposed this as a PAX panel (Andrew Plotkin, Rob Wheeler, Stephen Granade, John Gonzalez (Obsidian), Dean Tate (Harmonix)). It wasn't accepted, but we should do it for our own program. I've emailed everybody on the original list.<br />
* "Meet the IF community" -- One of the Boston game people suggested that we should pick a time and say "If you're busy at PAX, but you want to stop by the IF suite and meet people at least once, *this* is a good time to do it." Just to avoid diffusion.<br />
* A lightning introduction to Inform 7? -- (Aimed at newcomers, not IF regulars, obviously. Jmac and Zarf did this at Boston Gameloop last year.)<br />
<br />
== Alcott Conference Room for Saturday ==<br />
I have a meeting room reserved at the Westin for Saturday from 12 noon until 12 midnight, connected to the convention. It's 1,035sqft (41ft x 29ft) and seats up to 100 people. We'll have a theatre (rowed seats) layout. I ([[David Cornelson]]) am currently covering the cost of the room, but would appreciate a few people chipping in, if you're inclined and able to.<br />
<br />
==== Internet Connectivity ====<br />
Individual Wi-Fi codes can be purchased for the day at $50 on Saturday, but they need to be requested early. As the day gets later, they won't provide new codes. There is a slight delay as codes are created. If anyone wants to pre-order Wi-Fi access, let me know.<br />
<br />
==== Food ====<br />
We cannot bring any of our own food or beverages into the meeting room. There's a union rule that bars outside food. I'm getting a quote for soda, water, ice, and veggie and chip trays.<br />
<br />
== Swag plans ==<br />
<br />
* Like last year: How-to-play-IF cards, nametag stickers, badge stickers. (Zarf)<br />
* Hadean Lands promo buttons. (Zarf)<br />
* Munchies for IF suite<br />
<br />
== People planning to attend ==<br />
<br />
* [[David Cornelson]]<br />
* [[Victor Gijsbers]] (maybe)<br />
* [[Stephen Granade]]<br />
* [[Christopher Huang]]<br />
* [[Kevin Jackson-Mead]]<br />
* Flourish Klink<br />
* [[Juhana Leinonen]]<br />
* [[Jesse McGrew]]<br />
* [[Iain Merrick]]<br />
* [[Nick Montfort]]<br />
* [[Marius Müller]]<br />
* [[Mark Musante]]<br />
* [[Andrew Plotkin]]<br />
* [[Gunther Schmidl]]<br />
* [[Emily Short]]<br />

<br />
==How It Begins==<br />
The work opens with a foreword: You are the recently appointed Earth's ambassador to Aleheart Colony. Since the progress of the ice is threatening the entire planet your mission is to come to an agreement with the local representatives to move all the Aleheart inhabitants back to the Earth.<br />
<br />
Next the program asks whether the player has played interactive fiction before.<br />
<br />
You are at the lakeshore under Cordia Peak. A narrow track takes you along the side of the glacier to the town. You are carrying a chronometer, a grey undersuit, shoes and socks.<br />
<br />
==Notable Features==<br />
*Includes a novice mode, as well as a gradual hint system, and commands to refer to the characters/rooms/exits introduced in the work.<br />
*Occasionally, the time of the day on the status line plays a role in the piece.<br />
*The work uses a goal directed approach to develop the plot (sometimes by means of reminders/thoughts/notifications). Also the scoring system keeps track of the accomplishment of such goals.<br />
*Implements and reacts to a rich assortment of hundreds of verbs denoting the various types of possible actions. Additionally, as a novice-friendly feature, some verbs have a lot of synonyms: <tt>attack</tt> (at least 14), <tt>take</tt> (at least 16), etc.<br />
*During the introduction, the digital cover art is displayed.<br />
*A simulationist approach to model a sort of electrogravitational(?) repulsion. <br />
*The work has multiple endings that are in connection with the main problem: a moral decision.<br />
<br />
