Bad At Sports Interview with Jason Rohrer [Games]

This is a great interview by Nicholas O’Brien of Bad At Sports speaking to game designer and artist Jason Rohrer. O’Brien captures media artists within the medium in which they work – whether it be Second Life, Video, or in the case of the above, Rohrer’s game, Sleep Is Death (rhizome) – see video below.

I suggest that games like Passage offer a challenging alternative to typical “choice” driven blockbuster games (like “morality engine” games developed by Bethesda Softworks). In Passage, you navigate an complex labyrinth to earn points; however, as you advance further into the maze you grow older and can travel less quickly. You also have a chance to picking up a partner to join you in your quest, and although doing so can prevent you from accessing certain areas, you gain more points the further you travel with your companion.
