Meeting 30: Dream BBQ

🗺️ - Lokacija srečanja: Plac, Linhartova cesta 43, 1000 Ljubljana
🕕 - Čas srečanja: Ob 18:00

Igra te spusti v nenavaden svet, kjer igraš kot Ena, katere delo je najti tako imenovanega “šefa” tega sveta. Ampak naloga ni lahka, ker v tem svetu se vsi predstavljajo kot “šef”. Ena se pogovarja z zelo barvitimi karakterji, opravlja razne naloge zanje in raziskuje različne nenavadne svetove z namenom dosega njenega cilja. Igra je v osnovi walking sim, ker igralec večinoma hodi in raziskuje svet. Raziskovanje sveta je zelo dobro začinjeno z zelo različnimi, hipnotično animiranimi karakterji in mnogimi skrivnostmi.

Zgodba trenutno še ni dokončana, saj je na voljo le 1. od potencialno 4-ih poglavij, je pa prvo poglavje na voljo popolnoma zastonj na Steam-u, zato res toplo priporočam potop v ta čuden svet Dream BBQ-a. Ustvarjalec igre Joel G je predhodno ustvaril serijo animacij o liku Ena, na youtube-u, kar tudi toplo priporočam, ni pa obvezno za srečanje ali za razumevanje in uživanje v igri. Nekaj točk pogovora:

• splošno o igri

• karakterji

• walking sim žanra in kako igre začinijo mundanost hoje

• youtube animacije in njihov vpliv na igre, ter obratno

• zakaj dream Bbq deluje/ne deluje kot igra - zakaj nebi bil raje animacija?

⏱️ - Čas igranja: cca. 2 uri

Meeting 30: Dream BBQ (ENG)

🗺️ - Meeting location: Plac, Linhartova cesta 43, 1000 Ljubljana
🕕 - Time of the meeting: At 18:00

The game takes you to a strange world where you play as Ena, whose mission is to find the so-called “boss” of this world. But the task isn’t easy, because in this world, everyone claims to be the “boss”. Ena talks to a set of very colorful characters, completes various tasks for them, and explores different unusual worlds in order to achieve her goal. The game is essentially a walking sim, as the player mostly walks around and explores the world. Exploring the world is made very engaging by a wide variety of hypnotically animated characters and many secrets.
The story isn’t finished yet, as only the first of potentially four chapters is available, but
the first chapter is available completely free on Steam, so I highly recommend diving into this strange world of Dream BBQ.

The game’s creator, Joel G, previously created a series of animations about the character Ena on YouTube, which I also highly recommend, though it’s not required for the meeting or to understand and enjoy the game.

A few talking points:

• the game in general

• the characters

• the walking sim genre and how games spice up the mundane act of walking

• YouTube animations and their influence on games, and vice versa

• why Dream BBQ works/doesn’t work as a game—why not just make it an animation?
