London Book Fair to install gaming pavilion Posted: 16 Feb 2014 09:41 PM PST Acknowledging the importance of interactivity in a changing book market, the London Book Fair aims to blur the lines between games and literature with a Gaming@LBF pavilion. It's purpose? To help connect the book industry with game developers, publishers and distributors, with the LBF and the association for UK Interactive Entertainment acting as matchmakers between interested parties. Ian Livingstone, Rhianna Pratchett and Rob Morgan will be among the speakers invited to present at the platform's seminar stream. Livingstone was, until very recently, president of video game company Eidos Interactive, having previously established himself with the Games Workshop retail chain and Fighting Fantasy series of choose-your-own-adventure books. Pratchett's work on the 2013 "Tomb Raider" reboot was instrumental in fleshing out a new character arc for video game heroine Lara Croft, while she has also shaped the female leads of "Heavenly Sword" and "Mirror's Edge". And Morgan was lead game writer on J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" crossover project for PlayStation, "Wonderbook: Book of Spells". The gaming pavilion counts itself among a number of new areas set up for this year's LBF, which runs April 8-10. Rhianna Pratchett's father, renowned fantasy author Terry Pratchett, will be Author of the Day on April 8. – AFP/Relaxnews, February 17, 2014. |
