By Kars | Published: February 4, 2015

In the summer of last year we announced a new direction for the studio, which boils down to us no longer framing our work as game design, but as playful design.

By Kars | Published: September 17, 2013

On Monday last week I returned from a fun stay in Warsaw. That same day, I attended This happened – Utrecht #17. As almost always, the talks were lovely honest accounts of how things were made.
