This week on Wednesday I found myself in the lovely KNAW building to talk about the far future of applied game design. I was invited to do so by STT, together with David Shaffer, Jeroen van Mastrigt and Jeroen Elfferich. I talked about the incapacity of design as well as science fiction to effectively imagine [...]
I have a lot on my plate at the moment. A bit too much it seems. So it’s a good thing I got to wrap up a few things in the past two weeks… Most notably Maguro, for which we presented our design to the client last wednesday. We gave away quite a show, including [...]
Fiona Raby once told me that the majority of her work with students at the RCA was about psychology. After a week like this, I can see where she’s coming from. Without going into too much detail, I had my work cut out for me with a new group of students who I will be [...]
This week was all about frantically getting things sorted so that I can completely disconnect for a week on starting friday (tomorrow). Putting up the scaffolding for project Fugu; a collaboration with River Institute on an experiment in higher education at the UvA. Hubbub will be designing some ARG-ish additions to its program. I am [...]
So week 165. One of those old-fashioned fragmented weeks that reminds me of why I decided a while ago that I should stop having more than two meetings on one day. Anyway. Following the weekend of Stekker Fest craziness I had a bit of an off day on Monday. Tuesday I sat down with Ianus [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
I totally forgot to post this last week; I’ll blame it on a combination of excellent weather and too much work on my hands. We’re already well into week 154, but to give you a brief overview of what number 153 looked like, let me just say it was more or less divided between: preparing [...]
