Week 168

So, I got back from a one-week holiday on Terschelling last weekend (which was lovely, by the way) and immediately dove into work again. So much to do at the moment, it’s a challenge not to get swamped. Anyway. And it is one of those weeks where I need to look back on my calendar [...]

Week 164

I am sat at the studio while around me FourceLabs are putting the final touches to their installation for Stekker Fest. I’ll be there tomorrow to hand out buttons to players. It’s the first in a series of three playful additions to three festivals that I am overseeing – first called project Ebi and now [...]

Week 162

Slightly overdue so I’ll keep it (very) short. Project Ebi aka PLAY Pilots is in full production. Here’s a weeknote on the project blog about what happened last week. (It’s in Dutch, but Google Translate is your friend.) I am bringing on two interns to work on a project for the Amsterdam University. More on [...]

Week 161

This past week, again, was mostly about project Ebi. We kicked off the third iteration on monday with a review of the version we delivered the friday before. What followed was a heated discussion about the ruleset. I felt it needed a bit more depth so players would have more interesting choices. The trick is [...]

Week 160

So here we are at the end of week 160 which has been mostly about project Ebi. Today we’re wrapping up the second iteration of the project. It’s crazy to think we have been going for only four weeks in total now and at this point we have a a first software version of the [...]

Week 158

It’s the end of week 158 and I am sat at a table in what will soon be the new Dutch Game Garden. On the fourth floor builders are putting final touches to the studio FourceLabs and Hubbub will be sharing. I am on the first floor, with a gorgeous view of the Neude square [...]

Week 157

Had another busy week, with time equally divided between projects Buta and Ebi. The former has come to an end with the delivery of a video sketch yesterday. Leading up to that on monday we tested several paper prototypes of games for people and pigs with farmers. The response we got from them was encouraging. [...]

Week 155 & 156

I have some catching up to do with these. What can I say, things got in the way of writing last week’s notes. These past two weeks I have been pushing to get a new project, codenamed Ebi, off the ground. It is the next step in my involvement with the PLAY project in Utrecht. [...]

Week 154

A very low-key, quiet week this was. Partly due to the fact that I took the Monday off (gasp!) And partly due just to the fact that it’s one of those in between periods. Old projects winding down, new ones starting up. One of those new projects I’ve codenamed Ebi. It’s the next step we’re [...]
