Abstract:
Sandbox, the first ACM Video Game Symposium, was held this summer, July 29 and 30, in Boston MA, USA (co-located with SIGGRAPH 06). This is the first ACM-sponsored conference on video games; rumor has it that it may eventually spawn into its own ACM games SIG, with its own conference, etc. In addition to the papers, the Hot Games session previewed previously unreleased titles from major game companies as well as indie developers. The call for participation encouraged a broad range of submissions, ranging from technical papers to humanistic game studies, from game design to analyses of the economics and business of games.
