Vimeo Situation Update
I’m pretty much floored by the response I got from the previous Vimeo post. I would like to thank everybody, who commented and helped spread the word. Of course I didn’t realize that the timing is just perfect with the IGF deadline so close. If you are submitting your game to the IGF, I think [...]
How Vimeo Lost Me
I used to prefer Vimeo over YouTube. Vimeo was always a bit better in quality, had a nicer looking player and website. Most importantly, it had a more mature and tasteful community. So when I released my game TRAUMA, it was a no-brainer to publish the trailer for it on Vimeo. It was an arty [...]
What Happens in Paris…
… of course doesn’t stay in Paris. As already mentioned, I went to Paris and spent a wonderful evening there. Here are some impressions.
The exhibition takes place in La Gaîté Lyrique. Apparently, a former theater that was now changed into an exhibition venue.
My Crib!
TRAUMA in Paris
I’m leaving for Paris tomorrow. Apparently, TRAUMA – among others – is currently being exhibited by the Kokoromi Collective at La Gaîté Lyrique.
I have no idea what this and I need to find out!
They have a vernissage on Friday evening. I have no idea if this is a public thing. But the exhibition certainly is and you can visit it for [...]
Learning from Hollywood
I recently found this very interesting series of short videos on The Escapist. It’s basically a short summary of the history of Hollywood. See, it’s easy to look at Hollywood as this constant, unchanging entity. After all, movies are a pretty solid, mature medium and Hollywood is the poster child of a well-oiled entertainment industry. [...]
Losing Fire
After reading all three books of “The Hunger Games” Trilogy, I feel like I need to write an addendum to my previous post about them. You see, I realized that most of the stuff I have written in that post actually only applies to the very first book.
To give you an idea what I’m talking about [...]

The Games of Hunger Games
Here is another book I’m reading now. It’s called “The Hunger Games”. It apparently the next big adventure/romance youth novel. Soon to be released as a major movie. Could even become a huge franchise like Twilight or Harry Potter. Have a teaser.
The story is pretty much a a Sci-Fi / Post-apocalyptic Battle Royale sans the gore, [...]
Flood and Ark
Recently, I finished reading two Sci-Fi books: Flood and Ark by Stephen Baxter. Ark is the sequel to Flood. They both take place in a near future where earth slowly disappears under a rapidly rising sea level.
I read some Stephen Baxter books in the past. Not that I particularly like his writing. I do enjoy his [...]
The Difficulty of Catherine
I have been playing Catherine some more. It’s a game that is considered by many to be particularly difficult. I had my share of struggles even on “Easy” difficulty. On my second play trough, I decided to crank it up to “Normal”. But it didn’t actually get a lot more difficult. Different, but not difficult. [...]
