Over the next couple of weeks, I will begin publishing on DitM several supplemental essays that are meant to compliment essays that have been submitted to academic journals. It is my hope that these essays will allow me an alternative venue in which to talk about some of the ideas in ways which I perhaps could not otherwise. The first is meant to extend upon the foundational core category "Creative Collaborative Practice," (CCP) which I have deemed so integral to what makes videogame development practice possible. Because all of the upcoming essays I am developing plug into this core category, it seems fruitful to define it a bit.
