Como aplicar la Innovación como creatividad aplicada en los clásicos?

via nurium.com

De Nurium Games, me llega gracias al pitazo y rebote de ideas de mi estimado colega de trabajo Martin esto. Me puso a pensar mucho más en los diferentes modelos de negocio y gameplay que existen.

Si aplicaramos las disciplinas de innovación y descubrimiento en los innumerables juegos clásicos que ya existen y seguiran existiendo que obtendríamos?

Requerimientos y restricciones:

- Necesitamos que sea fácil.
- Que se pueda hacer en menos de un mes con el equipo que tenemos
- Que tenga arte padre , que es nuestro fuerte, pero que el gameplay e historia no nos coman el tiempo
- Qué podemos tomar de nurium y su idea de re-incorporar arkanoid?
- Qué puede hacer nuestra gente de programación rápido y que sea adictivo?

finalmente el poder diseñar la experiencia interactiva toma una perspectiva de pilar, que más allá del arte y aunado a ella, pueda darnos algo que en tiempo y forma suene si no al negocio de la década; a algo que si pueda tener una salida comercial.

Me pregunto cuánto venderan estos cuates de este juego? :o
Descargable... demo gratis... y sus cuates que lo hicieron para mac hasta en cd te lo venden por 4.95 dolaritos extra! mhmmm...

A pensar, mezclar, retar, rebelarse e innovar... siempre seguir descubriendo.

Abrazos.. Y.

Innovar a costa de todo?... necesitamos más ojo para el diseño.

Node power outlet: how come nobody thought of this before?

by Devin Coldewey on June 18, 2009

Probably because there are a few design issues with it. Although the Node outlet is very stylish-looking and certainly an elegant solution to the too-many-plugs problem, a moment’s reflection brings up a few serious issues. In fact, they got nailed by the commenters at BBG almost instantaneously. Can you spot what’s wrong?

1. Toddlers are free to stick butter knives, forks, hairpins, and pretty much anything thin into the slot. Not to mention you’re supposed to touch it, yet it is at the same time an incredibly dangerous item. Modern outlets are almost all designed to be accessible only by an actual two- or three-pronged plug. Which brings us to out next problem:
2. Uh, what about grounded plugs? Your PC, TV, monitor, and many other household electical doodads would be SOL with this thing.
3. It looks good naked (kind of like… never mind), but what about when it’s got four different-colored plugs going at different directions with curly wires going off every direction? The best part about this design is hidden as soon as you start using it — the opposite of what good design should do.

So, points for innovation, but I doubt you’ll be seeing these at your local designer furnishings store any time soon.

Cualquiera que lo viera lo hubiera pensado maravilloso no?

Pero falto ver los riesgos y demás áreas que van mas allá del emocionómetro de ver algo "que me hubiera gustado haberlo pensado yo".

Kung-fu design.. pero sin cabeza y otras dimensiones no da innovación entonces?
mhmmmmmmmmmm...

ke opinan?

sigamos descubriendo...e innovando.

Abrazo.

Pirateando a tu mente distraida - Procrastination hack: '(10+2)*5'

Procrastination hack: '(10+2)*5'

Following on the idea of the procrastination dash and Jeff’s progressive dash, I’ve been experimenting with a squirelly new system to pound through my procrastinated to-do list. Brace yourself, because it is a bit more byzantine than is Merlin 2005’s newly stripped-down habit. It’s called (10+2)*5, and today it will save your ass.

Who it’s for

• procrastinators
• the easily distracted
• compulsive web-surfers
• people with a long list of very short tasks (a/k/a “mosquitos”)
• people having trouble chipping away at very large tasks

What you’ll need

1. a timer
   • must be easy to reset
   • electronic kitchen timer is particularly good (pref. with multiple alarm memories), or
   • an app like Minuteur (get the newest version—several cool new features)
2. a reduced subset of your to-do list
   • tasks that can be worked on (not necessarily completed) in blocks of 10 minutes or less
   • GTD people: next actions only, please
3. an hour of your time (less is potentially okay, but it’s non-canonical)
4. your sorry, procrastinating ass

How it works

It’s called “(10+2)*5” and here’s why:

• 10 - Work for ten minutes with single-minded focus on moving toward completion on a single task. Ten minutes, and that’s all you’re allowed to do is work, work, work. No cheating, because (DING!) you actually get a break when you’re done…
• 2 - After ten minutes of sweaty, dedicated work you get a 2-minute break to do whatever you want—drink coffee, read 5ives, call your bookie, whatever. When the two minutes are up, it’s back to work on the next task on your list. This is important.
• *5 - You’re going to iterate this four more times for a total of one hour’s working/breaking

Important squirrely rules

• You do not need to finish your task or your project in ten minutes; you just need to move it forward
• If you finish a satisfying amount of work in fewer than ten minutes, STOP, and go right to your 2-minute break, than start another 10-minute dash
• Do NOT skip breaks! You are not allowed. Breaks cannot be missed. Period. Go surf the web. Now. Seriously. GO!

What will happen

You’ll blaze through an hour’s worth of work/not work and will find yourself looking forward to both the breaking and working parts of the cycle. (Dang, how’s that for a change?)

The MacGuffin

The Now Habit
by Neil Fiore

Okay, you caught me. That’s the hack: you can and eventually will skip breaks.

In his (extremely wonderful) The Now Habit, Neil Fiore suggests a similar habit of “unscheduling,” where you only make obligations to the things that you enjoy and that are not the source of procrastination. John Perry suggests “Structured Procrastination,” where you only give high priority to “unimportant” tasks. Of course, this is taken to a hilarious extreme with Joshua Newman’s plan for scheduling just a few minutes of work per hour, and then focusing on the “more important” tasks like DVD re-arranging.

In all these cases—each of which will surely seem ludicrous to the “Why don’t you just go do your damned work?” crowd—the trick is to snap your mind out of the inert state that’s allowing procrastination to take over. You’re breaking down whatever resistance has made you not do what your brain knows needs to be done.

Your hacks for your problems

“(10+2)*5” can be adapted in any number of ways (change any of the three numerals to your liking), but remember: these goofy hacks only work because you’re a pathetic bastard like me whose mind can be tricked into work as easily as it can be lulled into torpor. Set your rules, follow your rules, and keep moving forward. Snap that procrastination by slipping your work through the back door.

Now go take a break. You’ve earned, you hard-working hacker, you.

No creo valga la pena agregar mucho.

Sé que varios "creativos" o locos como yo, sufren de ser buenos para muchas cosas menos para enfocarse en lo que tienen que terminar porque llega un momento donde su mente los "traiciona" o su falta de concentración les permite dejar las cosas para después.

El truco de esto que se presenta aqui es hacer "bloques de enfoque" con "premio" he he los dos minutos de distracción. La verdad es que ya usandolo llego a la conclusion de que funciona! ;)

Mas no más que una fecha limite donde te partes y estresas por lograrla . El riesgo? Un mal calculo y aun con el estress y sprint final no lograrlo.. ahi es donde embona perfecto este hack.

Espero les sirva.. me pregunto si para lo creativo también sirve ;)
seguramente si.

Sigan descubriendo e innovando..
