The jade method is the scientific method
What I was expecting was a talk on how game modders were taking games that were solely solo games, and making them multiplayer…like the Skyrim mod. The reason for doing that is a lot of gamers are wanting to join with friends to play a game in co-op. Balder's Gate 2 did this, but the whole group needs to be in the same area.
I would like to see a Skyrim style game where the team could be in different locales, like one player in in Riverun casting fear on a chicken, while another is in the Barrows casting raise undead, while a third is breaking a daedric item on an altar, to get a portal to open up at the academy.
THAT would be a game that would be played forever.
Nice job Adam – good tips!
