Gamescape is an extension to the retro-game «l1neum» by «la1n». It is visualizing all playing movements of a player as a 3D-sculpture. While as the movements of one player make up a sculpture, all sculptures of all played games of all players are collected on a server and form an entire city: A city consisting of structures which are created by all the gamers' movements.

This visualization of structures shows an ever-expanding universe of movements – finished and unfinished – and serves as a starting ground for a new game. The different shapes of the buildings can be related to the strategies of the individual players. If the player realizes this, he/she can in fact adapt the strategy in order to determine the shape of the buildings and the city.

Finally the gamescapes can be easyly exported into 3d-software for further use. And the exported gamescapes then can be imported as city-scapes into any geographical location in google earth and alter design and aesthetics of a town, city or landscape.

Concept

By playing the different levels of «l1neum», the player creates more and more buildings for the ever growing gamescape-city.
