Year of the chest
Chest in front of me, chest behind me...
That's exactly how the year of the chest has been. We must hope that the following year will let us to step out of the chest. That's exactly what the theme of the Video Game Magazine was, which was successfully completed in online form (version 1.01). The presentation of the periodical was devoted to several program blocks at the festivals PAF and GamerPie in December. We will now deal with the optimization of the printed format. Of course, we will continue to polish the result to the best possible shape. You can read the periodical online here (web of the Ateliér of Duchů) or through the domain (which also leads there):

In November, our first article was published in the magazine SCORE, where we focus on the studying video games in Brno.

At the end of November, we created a video commentary Chests of the universe wide open based on the UFO theme for festival FiK 2020 (Ustí nad Labem).
Annotation:
Chests of the universe wide open of the Atelier of Ghosts will take an excursion into the virtual issues of general and sophisticated parts of the video game universe. Through the project Video Game Periodical, the topic will be indirectly divided into chests. The resulting commentary thus draws attention to key milestones in the abstracting and identification of individual game segments or the games themselves. The parallel universe of Ghosts is the atelier of Game Media (FaVU BUT) in Brno, so the presence of student projects cannot be ruled out. One of the main goals of the excursion is to clarify the concept of UFO in the context of video game culture.
