Choosatron Interactive Fiction Machine
Jerry Belich
Software developer and storyteller Jerry Belich will be discussing his jump into the Maker movement with the Choosatron (currently a live Kickstarter!). From prototype to production, in less than a year his project has captured the attention and imaginations of both the literary and technical communities. Some of the topics will include…
- Challenges of a first hardware project - knowing how little you know
- Software/firmware of the Choosatron, unlimited story length in cramped space
- The Literary World: Getting left behind as the technical generation grows up
- How the Choosatron hobby project got promoted to product development
- The benefits of not trying to solve a problem
- China and Kickstarter: The terrors of manufacturing and selling promises
- Why we are in a revolution now that you’ll kick yourself in a few years for not being a part of
- It’s never been a better time to make your ideas into something real, but it’s good to be prepared!
