Games played in the Philippines

While travelling in the Philippines I came across a couple of games.

Catch a big beetle and bind it to a stick with a cotton thread. It's like a remote control toy helicopter. If the beetles are lucky they get released after play. Most of them face a grim fate.

Lots of Sony's PlayStation Portables. I've never seen so many of those. The children in the photo surprisingly played N+, a 2D indie game.

Two Months of Mutatione

Hi everybody.

I am spending June and July working 3 days per week on a prototype for Nils Deneken's game Mutatione. 

During that time I plan to work on WIMH for 2 days per week.

I think it will be fun to have some change for a while.

Also I am currently in Kopenhagen. Anybody based in Kopenhagen?

After that, in August I'll be working full steam on WIMH again.

Greetings from Bantayan Island

Philippines!

Totally unrelated to game-making, I am currently travelling about in the Philippines. So far it's a blast!

Travelling means less time for blogging, but soon I'll be back in Germany. In the meantime, why don't you read this older blog entry and take part in the discussion. I find any opinion on this very interesting.

Indiecade!

Please make an awsome 10%-finished game and submit it to the Indiecade Festival.
Even if it's no where near half finished and you don't think it's ready yet, do submit. Not even near finished, that's how I feel about everything I ever turned in. (For example lots of documents at Uni..)
But also last year when I submitted my game to Indiecade, it was incomplete. (And it still is..) While I didn't get into the list of finalists, I was invited by the Indiecaders to show my game at a the Game City Festival in England. That was a very great experience. So even if you don't get to be a finalist, there are ways to profit from participation.

Welcome to the Land of the Bat!

Here is a part of a concept I am currently working on. It's a pdf. Let me know what you think of it.

back at work

Hi everybody.

Nothing much to say. I am back at work.
