17 March 2010I was told by AKPeters that “On the Way to Fun” got good feedback at the recent GDC and sold pretty well!

Back from KGC09
16 October 2009Like last year, I enjoyed this conference in Seoul really very much. Not only it is the biggest in Asia in terms of quantity (7 parallel tracks for 3 days!) but, in my opinion, it is also the one that offers the highest variety and quality across all game related disciplines. Unfortunately not all korean […]
On the way to fun
16 August 2009During the last couple of months I spent almost all my free time writing a small book on emotions and game design, titled “On the way to Fun: an Emotion based approach to successful Game Design”.
