Notas do Editor
- Scholastic survey of 2000 children in the US from age 6 to 17;
- Expensive to produce, works with biggest properties
- Interactive; really got to get the costs down though
- Told online and via series of books and cards; online/offline game, with apps. Very transmedia.
- So far, three books; evidence pack with photos, notes, napkins with writing on. Websites, phone numbers, etc; and now converted to iPhone and iPod Touch, for ridiculously low price of 99 cents.
- Similar, but obviously slightly older audience. First book out now; eight books in total, including writing from fans. Slightly confusing mix of blogs and questions; e.g. what was in her locker, but seems to go down well with readers.
- Combining a whole load of interesting ideas into one. Weekly serial historial/fantasy novel for adults; completely digital distribution, with mobile and iPad apps; subscription plans ($6 for 6 months, $10 for a year, renewing). Finally, users can influence and write story and world themselves. Works because these guys are well known and have no costs. But perfect for genre authors.
- Back to earth. Hear more about this in about an hour, but collaboration between Stardoll and Random House. Serialised story over 8 weeks where readers can influence story through voting, take part in writing competitions, and of course, buy virtual goods related to the story.
- Again, hearing more from these guys - working with Penguin to publish series of books based on the game, with code letting people unlock secret moshling in the game. Similar thing happened with Club Penguin.
- Episodic videogames for variety of IP. Same engine, got a very good process for creating regular installments with good development tools - essential for this kind of episodic gaming. Works across range of platforms.
- PS3 game, really phenomenal artwork and animation; pretty conventional serial killer story, but still makes it better than most games. Projected to sell about 2 million, not bad for new IP and new game style - means that we’ll be seeing more. Compared to a movie.
- BioWare responsible for some of most successful console games of last decade; always heavily story based sci-fi or fantasy role playing game. SW:TOR is interesting because it’s their first MMO - so this could rival or even beat World of Warcraft by means of the strong episodic story they create.
- Live transmedia experience integrated with TV show, online and across Twitter and Facebook. Gained almost 200,000 fans over run of the show; season 2 coming out soon. Also making our own IP online and on mobile.
- In no particular order; 66% of kids still want to read books on paper
- Worth saying that iPhone is not going away any time soon, no matter what people say about Android. These guys understand what consumers want, even if they are a pain for all of us to work with.
- Publishers have these strengths
- New set of skills required for these products, and need to work out relationship with developers. In-house? Use 3rd party tools (which don’t exist yet?) Contract developers? Work with them like with authors? Really need to get away from just selling single books as well.
