Week 245

By Kars | Published: May 5, 2014

Our col­lab­o­ra­tion with Sub­alekha (code­named KEGANI) reached a mile­stone this week with the sub­mis­sion of a pro­pos­al to the Knight Foun­da­tion’s Pro­to­type Fund. We talked through the draft pro­pos­al on Mon­day, made some final adjust­ments after­wards, and sent it in on Wednes­day. It’s fin­gers crossed for now while we wait for a response. I spent […]

Week 244

By Alper | Published: April 28, 2014

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 […]

Week 243

By Kars | Published: April 22, 2014

Look­ing at my log for last week it’s clear a lot has been going on; work con­tin­ued on Stand­ing (code­name AJI) and we (main­ly Alper) did some sup­port work on Beesten­bende. In the mean­time we are start­ing up new projects; one is code­named KEGANI, a col­lab­o­ra­tion between us and Sub­alekha who resides in NYC. We […]

Week 242

By Alper | Published: April 14, 2014

We have been pur­su­ing a project now offi­cial­ly called KEGANI with a friend in New York for the past cou­ple of weeks. We hope to share a bit more about that but with­out giv­ing too much away: we have set our­selves a brief to use our type of game design to tack­le a spe­cif­ic social […]

Week 241

By Kars | Published: April 7, 2014

An intense week, not in the last place because of Alper’s phys­i­cal pres­ence at the Utrecht stu­dio for the whole week. It was time for anoth­er OKR review and we pre­fer to do those live in meat­space. As always, we grad­ed our­selves, came to some harsh real­i­sa­tions and adjust­ed course accord­ing­ly. Build­ing an applied game […]

Week 240

By Alper | Published: March 31, 2014

Last week was a sol­id week of more work on all the things we worked on the week before. The Euro­pean pro­pos­al we are col­lab­o­rat­ing on is tak­ing a lot of atten­tion. AJI is con­tin­u­ing apace with what may very well be the penul­ti­mate sprint before the app goes to the store. We wrote up […]

Week 239

By Kars | Published: March 24, 2014

This week, like most recent ones before it, was most­ly about AJI. We wrapped up a sprint focused on get­ting the web­site in shape, reviewed it and planned a new one. The next sprint is all about “fix­ing bro­ken win­dows”. We also decid­ed to start think­ing about the sto­ry we would tell around the ser­vice. […]

Week 238

By Alper | Published: March 17, 2014

We are most­ly work­ing on AJI right now with lots of pro­pos­als and small­er engage­ments run­ning in between. We are prepar­ing a ton of things for the com­ing six months vary­ing from new projects, to pub­li­ca­tions, exhi­bi­tions, pre­sen­ta­tions and teach­ing engage­ments around the world. Besides all of that we have also been enjoy­ing the unex­pect­ed­ly […]

Week 237

By Kars | Published: March 10, 2014

On Mon­day I got sev­er­al vis­its from friends, fam­i­ly and col­leagues, all curi­ous about my new work­space. It was enjoyable—we even played some Ani­mal Upon Ani­mal with Eel­co’s kids—but not con­ducive to much pro­duc­tiv­i­ty. I main­ly did finan­cial and admin­is­tra­tive tasks. Alper, mean­while, returned from a much-deserved long week­end relax­ing (and drink­ing cof­fee) in Oslo. […]

Week 236

By Alper | Published: March 4, 2014

Last week was anoth­er week work­ing full throt­tle on AJI which has now been giv­en an offi­cial name and domain (to be announced short­ly). We set­up a scrum list for the week and start­ed work­ing through that and we think that with the cur­rent veloc­i­ty we should be able to show stuff in 1–2 sprints. […]
