It's not over yet!

GDC has been a total rush. I met lots of interesting and nice people. And I met some old friends from down-under too. It was pretty fun. 

Somebody touched my crotch. I won't say who. It was kind of weird but still endearing. I saw some motorbikes hanging from the ceiling and an orange cat, so fat it must have been Garfield, by name.

Tonight is the last party. So it's not over yet! Tomorrow I fly. Erik Svedäng left today, I hope he didn't forget his prize trophy. Also Kian Bashiri left. We said good bye just around the corner from the arcade museum. See you at No-More-Sweden, guys!

I am exhausted, yet refreshed.

Embroidering is Hard Work

Soon it's time to leave for the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.

I thought I'd embroider a promotion t-shirt..

I'm not going to do that again in a hurry.

It took a long time. :P

I am going to show 'Where Is My Heart?' at the Experimental Gameplay Sessions and talk a bit about the experimental aspects of the game. I recommend you come if you're around. I'm sure there will be a lot to make us all gaze.

(San Francisco Moscone Conference Center, Thursday, March 26th, from 3pm-5pm in North Hall room 135)

Also I'll be talking about the game at the Education SIG Session:

Survive in the Woods

Only very recently I had an art attack. Art attacks come and go without preceding warnings. This one had the theme: "Survive in the Woods".  Here are some of the results. They often inspire me to go on and perhaps make a game or a comic. I would like to make an adventure game sometime soon.

Pikachu Sightings at Cologne Carnival

We went to the Carnival in Cologne yesterday. Laura dressed up as a Pikachu. And me? Well, for me we discovered a new species of Pikachu. The black Pikachu! They are very rare and quite shy. Even their lightning bolts are black and have a distinct smell of licorice. Here are a couple of snapshots to prove their existence.

Achtung Autobahn!

Achtung, for those of you, who speak German. The video from the Amaze Jump and Run Party is out. I talk about the game, as a native speaker:

Something new Worx

Hi friends.

Nothing much to say. Only that I'm back at work. I am trying out dynamic effects on the frames.

Happy Jamming

Over the last weekend I went to the Nordic Game Jam. I worked with Erik Svedäng and Kian Bashiri on a game involving grapes and the cutest music. We didn't get it done at all, but it was a good experience to work together on one little project. If we'd just had more time.. 

I met many kind people. It felt a bit like we had known each other since childhood.

I am really looking forward to the next jam.
