Week 282

By Kars | Published: January 16, 2015

A large part of this week was tak­en up by our annu­al OKR review and sub­se­quent reori­en­ta­tion of OKRs for 2015. An inten­sive exer­cise, but seri­ous­ly worth it. The tech­nique helps us build learn­ing into our tiny organ­i­sa­tion, and that’s very valu­able. We’ll share some out­comes of this review in a sep­a­rate blog post soonish. […]

Week 281

By Kars | Published: January 12, 2015

To make the most of the first full work­week of the new year Alper arrived from Berlin to work with me at the Utrecht stu­dio on a num­ber of things. We kicked off our sec­ond project with KLM on Wednes­day. I went over to “build­ing 600” on Schiphol Noord to share our pre­lim­i­nary ideas for […]

Goat rodeo, issue games, and Bycatch

By Admin | Published: December 19, 2014

When Sub­alekha was pre­sent­ing Bycatch at Play­ful back in Octo­ber 2014, at some point Ian Wil­ley tweet­ed the fol­low­ing: I was intrigued by the expres­sion “goat rodeo” and imme­di­ate­ly looked it up. It turns out Ian was­n’t refer­ring to games about chas­ing goats with las­sos. In stead, he’s talk­ing about sit­u­a­tions that I tend to […]

Week 277

By Alper | Published: December 16, 2014

We gave and won the pitch I men­tioned last week for the Dutch Muse­ums Asso­ci­a­tion so that is very good news and makes it very like­ly that we’ll be able to real­ize that idea in the new year. Stand­ing made it out to the App Store and is look­ing amaz­ing. Bycatch now has a BoardGameGeek page […]

Week 276

By Alper | Published: December 9, 2014

Last week we fin­ished a lot of stuff which is real­ly nice. Bycatch is now ready to print thanks to the efforts of Kars and Ties. I pre­sent­ed about the con­cept at Talk and Play and did an impromp­tu playtest both of which were very well received. We’re now plan­ning how to tell peo­ple about our […]

Week 275

By Kars | Published: December 1, 2014

We were plen­ty busy this week, but much of it was “behind the screens” kind of stuff. So I will keep these notes short, for a change. Alper had a bunch of meet­ings, ran anoth­er Game Design­ers Anony­mous, did some devel­op­ment on Stand­ing, and planned mar­ket­ing of Bycatch. Kars also had his fair share of […]

Week 274

By Kars | Published: November 24, 2014

At the start of this week Alper was still in NYC after enjoy­ing anoth­er excel­lent edi­tion of PRACTICE. He did some work on Bycatch with Sub­alekha and oth­er­wise enjoyed the city before head­ing back to Europe on Tues­day. While he was mak­ing the cross­ing, I par­tic­i­pat­ed in the first Tegen­licht meet­up in Utrecht. We watched […]

Week 273

By Alper | Published: November 18, 2014

Last week Kars and I crossed con­ti­nents. He came back from hol­i­day in Seoul (check out his visu­al food report) on the day I flew out to New York to attend PRACTICE. I spent the week doing some admin­is­tra­tion, review­ing cur­rent projects among which Stand­ing and pack­ing. I’m also orga­niz­ing the fourth edi­tion of Game […]

Week 272

By Alper | Published: November 12, 2014

Last week was a fair­ly qui­et week over at the stu­dio. Kars did the deliv­ery for our engage­ment over at KLM and then got ready to go on hol­i­day to Seoul where he is right now. Bycatch was fea­tured over at Killscreen with a very nice arti­cle. I was sick for most of the week but […]

Week 271

By Alper | Published: November 6, 2014

These wee­knotes are late because of some irreg­u­lar­i­ties in the stu­dio. Kars is cur­rent­ly enjoy­ing a hol­i­day in Seoul while I have been sick for most of the week. Last week was event­ful so there are the wee­knotes any­way. Last Mon­day we final­ly got around to doing our Q3 OKR review with opti­mistic results. In […]
