    Meaningful Experience Design

    LA based experience designer Tommy Honton joins me as we discuss his journey from a film and tv writer in the wild and wacky world of experience design. This is the 10 episode of season 2 of Fictional Reality. In this season I talk to experience designers from around the world about how they design puzzle experiences, mysteries, immersive theatre, and escape rooms.  Today I chat with Tommy Honton an award winning experience designer with a passion for the fundamental experience of the player. He has designed and created experiences such as the Museum of Selfies, Stash House, Arcana, All of Them Witches, and the Mortality Machine (to name a few). He is a pleasure to talk to and learn from and was very encouraging in being forthcoming about how he entered the field and continues to design experiences. He has a playful heart and a eye for detail. His focus on accessability makes him a careful considerate creator who's goal is to provide an exciting, meaningful experience for the player.

    Jack Ford Morgan is the founder and game designer for Half-Monster Games, an independent Australian board game producer. We talk about his latest game Animal World War, the question of "what is good", and designing player experience. EPISODE NOTES: Jack and I talk about the importance of designing the player experience in our latest episode. We discuss how immersive approaches to game design help build a narrative and universe that sustains player imagination throughout gameplay. We digress slightly into trying to answer the question of What Is Good and easily dispatch the answer, I don't know why it took so many philosophers so long to figure it out! Jack and I have a lot in common with regards to designing experiences, his within the board game industry, and my within the immersive events and entertainment industry.

EPISODE NOTES: This is the sixth episode of season 2 of Fictional Reality.

Paul has extensive experience not only in theatre, live action role play, re-enactment performances, and film but also in managing and growing business. He is on a mission to apply the skills that have made him a successful manager, organiser and leader and apply them to a creative business model. We have a lengthy discussion about the experience design of the customer journey.

So Paul has created a series of models, funnels, and frameworks aimed at expanding the customer experience to create loyalty, and value across years, generations, and productions.

    Percieved Co-Creation - Dr Cameron Cliff

    This week I chat with Doctor Cameron Cliff. He develops multi-platform experiences and uses storytelling to solve strategy problems. EPISODE NOTES: This is the fourth episode of the new season of Fictional Reality. This season I will be interviewing experience designers, puzzle developers, and escape room enthusiasts to find out how they design experiences as well as tips and tricks for you how can too. This week I chat with Doctor Cameron Cliff. He develops multi-platform experiences and uses storytelling to solve strategy problems. From immersive, interactive theatrical productions that explore themes like loneliness or the lives of refugees, to the experience journey of online educational modules. Cameron received his PhD researching how multi modal storytelling (then trans-media) can facilitate perceived co-creation, community, and ownership of content and thus create a more fully engaging media. We discuss how emotion and narrative can work together with interactive and immersive design to create an unforgettable user experience. Experience design can lead to strong emotional connections through the feeling of perceived co-creation, choice, and agency. I love talking to Cameron about how to engage audiences to ride an emotional roller-coaster, but of course it is imperative that it is done safely and with the consent of the viewer. We discuss at length what it means to invoke emotional responses and how they can be successfully implemented through experience design.
