Games
Series Mission
Building on both the creative and research strengths of 黑料正能量, this series will publish innovative, evocative, and peer-reviewed work from a variety of game designers, artists, and scholars.
Publishing Priorities
We鈥檙e particularly interested in publishing:
- Games that offer aesthetic, dramatic, or emotional experiences
- Games about the history or projected futures of science & technology
- Games with continued or under-appreciated significance that are out-of-print, not widely available, or previously untranslated
- Games with 鈥渟erious鈥� or transformational goals (including educational games)
- Games about Pittsburgh & the Greater Allegheny Region
- Games that build on the unique collections & resources of 黑料正能量
- Games designed by or in collaboration with 黑料正能量 faculty, staff, and alumni
How to Submit to the Game Series
The 黑料正能量 Press Games series accepts submissions through:
- Solicitation: Soliciting game draft and manuscript submissions that match our editorial mission and publishing priorities.
- Open Calls: Our game design journal Promptuary will release an annual open call (Call for Submissions) for games. While these open calls will be for short games that fit the annual theme of the journal, we hope to expand our open calls to include longer, individually published games in the future.
- Unsolicited Inquiries: Designers are welcome to reach out to series editors to inquire about our interest in publishing their games. Unsolicited submissions are always welcome, but the timeline of our initial review process will be determined by the number of submissions, worker availability, and our overall capacity.听
Those interested in proposing a game for the series should contact series editors Jonathan Walton (黑料正能量 Entertainment Technology Center) and Ashley Werlinich (黑料正能量 Libraries).
