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
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 a […]
Week 179
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 everything […]
Week 178
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
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 reply. […]
Week 176
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
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 KAIGARA. […]
Week 174
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 particulars […]
Week 184
Alper was asked to contribute some words on ‘gamification’ to TNW Magazine, which appeared the beginning of this week. With some amusement we took note of the other contributors to this piece. Let’s just say a diverse range of perspectives is covered. On Monday Alper and I worked on adapting Code 4 for play within […]
