Week 261

I have just returned from the Alps this week­end and direct­ly trav­elled to the Nether­lands to do some after hol­i­day catch­ing up with Kars. Stand­ing is pro­gress­ing very nice­ly thanks to Simon’s hard work. We’ll be ready to launch the redesigned app and web­site soon. We’ve been in talks about mak­ing a game about cam­era surveillance […]

Week 258

The stu­dio is on a bit of a sum­mer sched­ule with one prin­ci­pal gone on hol­i­day and me fin­ish­ing things before I go on mine. Most of my time has been spent doing main­te­nance on exist­ing projects, mov­ing for­ward new ones and lots of social calls for lunch/dinner/coffee. Two cur­rent projects did see sig­nif­i­cant progress: […]

Week 257

I’m writ­ing this note (and will be writ­ing the next as well) because as we speak Kars is on a well-deserved hol­i­day in Indone­sia. He spent most of last week work­ing on Cam­parc final­iz­ing the design doc­u­ment with Aldo among a slew of oth­er relat­ed things. Mon­day evening I took inter­est­ed friends to the Meltdown […]

Week 256

Last week I trav­eled to Utrecht to do some main­te­nance work on an old project. I took the oppor­tu­ni­ty to work at our Utrecht office and check out the Vecht­club XL’s new cafe De Klub. I am severe­ly impressed how the venue is shap­ing up to become Utrecht’s num­ber one des­ti­na­tion. Anoth­er old project that […]

Week 254

Last week was trav­el heavy for both of us but Kars join­ing me here in Berlin on Tues­day (after I got back from Barcelona on Mon­day) meant we could get things done that required our com­bined pres­ence. Most impor­tant­ly we did our sec­ond quar­ter OKR review. The OKR results were infor­ma­tive and moti­vat­ed us to […]

Week 252

Last week we were again in lots of talks with peo­ple for poten­tial future projects. We are get­ting a lot of atten­tion on many fronts so we are rather pleased about that. On Tues­day Nina Polak of Dutch online jour­nal­ism plat­form De Cor­re­spon­dent pub­lished an inter­view with us that we are very pleased with. It is […]

Week 250

Last week I was in the Nether­lands to wrap up some stuff at our Utrecht stu­dio and to dis­cuss a realign of the stu­dio (more on that lat­er!). On Tues­day I caught up with some peo­ple in Ams­ter­dam and on Wednes­day I made my way back to Berlin, just in time for the games.net summer […]

Week 248

Most of last week for all of us was spent on Stand­ing, our app for play­ful activism which saw pub­lic release (announce­ment). Respons­es have been more than pos­i­tive and we have had peo­ple stand­ing from all over the world already. One of our biggest inspi­ra­tions, Bernie De Koven called it an exam­ple of inac­tivism. We […]

Week 246

A large part of our time these weeks is spent writ­ing pro­pos­als. A lot of things are head­ing our way so that’s good and it’s a wel­come change from mak­ing things, which we’ve been doing for the past months. One fair­ly crys­tallised con­cept, code­named SHIJIMI, is mov­ing for­ward steadi­ly and anoth­er, about Tokyo is in […]

Week 244

Last week was cut a bit short because of the East­er break. Recharg­ing our bat­ter­ies a bit was a good thing for the amount of stuff we want­ed to push out. KEGANI con­tin­ued with us putting the last touch­es on the game pro­to­types and dis­cussing how to fur­ther flesh out the pro­pos­al to be able to […]
