Poems about a Freshly-Picked Peach
Are games trapped by math? I just learned that all of the peach orchards between Parmer and 35 and Round Rock are gone. Which sucks. ["It’s all WalMarts now." "It's the pits." Laughter] Yeah... and why is there no game about the taste of a freshly picked peach, straight from the tree, with the smells and dust of the working orchard? How do you make a game about that? Raph Koster, at Project Horseshoe. Posted by jane at November 21, 2006 11:30 AM | TrackBackComments
There's a great one about plums, from William Carlos Williams: I have eaten and which Forgive me ![[TypeKey Profile Page]](http://www.gamegirladvance.com/nav-commenters.gif) on November 21, 2006 01:06 PM
I parodied that last year, funnily enough I Have Run and which Forgive me on November 22, 2006 05:17 AM
An interesting (and fun) point, but I think games are more trapped by the economics of making and selling them than by the math. It only takes one person to write a poem, maybe a few more to publish it (nowadays, one could just publish on the web for free). Games? Not so much :) Not only would we have to look into the cost of interactively describing the taste of a peach, we'd have to ask ourselves: would anyone buy it?
