Sam and Adrienne traveled to Minneapolis in November 2016 to participate in the American Society of Theatre Research’s annual conference as part of the Working Group “Video Games and Gaming: Towards a Trans-Medial Analysis.”  The co-written paper they shared with other academics and practitioners interested in the transdisciplinarity of gaming and theater was “A Study of The End: Using Game Mechanics to Create Customized Trans-Media Narrative.” In it, they use The End as a case study for the mechanics and dynamics that Swim Pony is interested in using gaming and theater’s intersectionality to reap the greatest benefits from.
