Week 182

By Kars | Published: February 18, 2013

On Mon­day Alper got good news about our sub­mis­sion to the gam­i­fi­ca­tion research net­work work­shop at CHI. Our posi­tion paper was accept­ed, which means we’ll be there to con­tribute to the dis­cus­sion. Alper has promised me he’ll talk a bit more about our sub­mis­sion here soon. Mean­while that same day, I spent some time fine […]

Week 181

By Alper | Published: February 11, 2013

Such a full stack last week that I’m a bit unsure what to start with. Lots of new busi­ness being dis­cussed too vague­ly to write about, but we can say 2013 is off to a good start. Though Berlin is still rather cold: Kars spent a large part of the week prepar­ing the HIRAME playtest […]

Week 180

By Kars | Published: February 4, 2013

I had the plea­sure of spend­ing most of this week work­ing at our Berlin stu­dio face-to-face with Alper. A large part of our time was tak­en up with work on FURAPPA. We spent sev­er­al ses­sions over the course of the week gen­er­at­ing ideas. We’ll go over those next, pick the best ones and devel­op them […]

Week 179

By Alper | Published: January 27, 2013

This will be some short notes where I had been floored by flu over the week­end and Kars spent most of his time in Utrecht push­ing every­thing along for the con­cept pre­sen­ta­tion of KAIGARA. Since this week you can also reg­is­ter for updates on the Game­ful World, the book Kars is con­tribut­ing to. In between […]

Week 178

By Kars | Published: January 21, 2013

So it’s been a snowy week here in Utrecht—and I’m pret­ty sure it’s been more than chilly in Berlin too. We start­ed the week ear­li­er than usu­al, on Sun­day, with myself plug­ging away at a revised chap­ter for the Game­ful World book—trying to cram in as many ref­er­ences as I could, and gen­er­al­ly clar­i­fy­ing and […]

Week 177

By Alper | Published: January 14, 2013

Kars said it was my turn to write wee­knotes, so here I am. I’ll be tak­ing them up more reg­u­lar­ly from now on. At the start of the week we put up a notice about open­ings for res­i­dents at our Utrecht stu­dio. If you’re inter­est­ed in shar­ing the space, ideas and cof­fee, feel wel­come to […]

Week 176

By Kars | Published: January 4, 2013

And we’re back. Hope you had a good Christ­mas break. In between the usu­al fam­i­ly vis­its, I most­ly sat on the couch and read comics—while occa­sion­al­ly receiv­ing mis­sives from Alper, who dis­cov­ered Berlin effec­tive­ly shuts down over the hol­i­days. Or has he put it on Twit­ter: “If New York is the city that nev­er sleeps, […]

Week 175

By Kars | Published: December 21, 2012

And with that, my last work­ing day of 2012 comes to an end. We’re clos­ing shop for the next week and will be back in the sad­dle on Jan­u­ary 2nd. But before I go, one last set of notes on what we did this week. The vast major­i­ty of my time was tak­en up by […]

Week 174

By Kars | Published: December 17, 2012

The penul­ti­mate work­week of the year turned out rather packed with work on two new projects—the afore­men­tioned HIRAME and now also KAIGARA, for which con­tracts were signed mid­way through the week. KAIGARA is game con­cept devel­op­ment for a multi­na­tion­al company—our biggest client to date in fact, so I am quite pleased. I’ll wait with shar­ing […]

Week 173

By Kars | Published: December 10, 2012

Last week Alper vis­it­ed Moscow to par­tic­i­pate in Urban Forum. He tells me he talked about “data and gen­er­a­tiv­i­ty as a prac­tice for inno­v­a­tive cities.” Mean­while I sol­diered on in the Utrecht stu­dio with half a jeal­ous eye on his Insta­gram feed. On Mon­day I act­ed as sound­ing board for Zineb and Chris. As men­tioned […]
