Clip description

Alex (Nicki Wendt) asks the kids – Mike (Nikolai Nikolaeff), Pi (Cassandra Magrath), Bec (Frances Wang), Marcello (Paul Pantano) and Ram (Damien Bodie) to combine their individual ideas to create one character. After a lot of arguing they finally achieve it, then bicker over whether it will be male or female. A coin is tossed and it’s a girl! Alex loves the new character they have called ‘Vixen’. Vying for the job, each of them argues that they contributed something special to creating Vixen. Alex gives the job to all of them, except Ram because he is too young. The so far unnamed, artificial intelligence (Matthew Parkinson) is finally named when Mike comes up with Virgil, virtual intelligence.

Curator’s notes

by Annemaree O'Brien

Alex is now testing the kids on how well they can work together as a team, as this is clearly an important part of games production. The tussle over the gender of the joint character is also an interesting one in the bigger picture of the games industry today.
