“For greater comprehension and enjoyment of interactive experiences.”

The much desired medium for “shaking up” thinking on video games and interactive experiences

For some of us, video games are the deepest and most personal experiences we can have. It is a way of connecting to a world different from our own, where other rules apply and there is something new to discover around every corner. This alternate world is a vision, and it is a form of expression.
Video Game Reflections is a collection for everyday moments of inspiration and thoughts — captured in words so that it can be shared with other people.

The ability to craft beautiful master-pieces depends on the contemporary perception of what beauty is and our understanding of the medium being used. Video Game Reflections is a place where novel thoughts and perceptions can fundamentally change the way we like to think about games. We cannot think about something we don’t have a language for describing. The written word can improve our ability to express thoughts and opinions about video games or interactive experiences.

Write together in fellowship

Built around the idea that people create and think better together; Video Game Reflections is the perfect place to let ideas bounce and to challenge the contemporary perception of what video games can be with new and different perspectives. Not different for the sake of being different, but for trying to further evolve video games as an artform.

These written thoughts and perspectives can further expand and deepen our understanding of what video games are. Reading about one idea might spark another one, so sharing and writing about it might inspire even more people. And the whole process is meant to be interactive, just like video games. That way it will be possible to gain even deeper understanding by asking context related questions and make edits so that the message becomes even clearer. On top of that; there will always be an audience, because Medium is a big community with many daily visitors and anyone can contribute.

Video Game Reflections will with time become a collection of great expertise and create a world with words to describe video games with greater precision.
