The Internet is Broken
Remember just a few years ago when Web 2.0 was the thing? There was this euphoria in the air that thing were changing for the better. Google, YouTube, Flickr, Wikipedia, Skype. Everybody was blogging. The music industry was dying. Newspaper publishers were getting nervous. Social media were just around the corner. It felt like the [...]

The Next Matrix
Recently I found myself often discussing the definition of what is a successful movie / book / game / pie recipe. Here is the thing. Avatar was successful right? It cost a fortune but it made quite a few fortunes in return. A lot of people saw it. It even started this whole 3D fad [...]

Bogost-Man Makes Me Wet
I’m back from Vienna and decided not to post yesterday due to exhaustion. The last couple of days were quite taxing. FROG was exciting! The conference was part of some big games festival. The location was Vienna’s town hall – an impressive and intimidating location. I held my presentation in this room with historical banners on the [...]

The World’s Best Countries
Many people found this site due to my epic ramblings about UI and Information Design faux-pas. I haven’t been saying NICE things about UIs often enough. Here is an attempt to make up for it. It’s an interactive info-graphic that compares countries with each other

Me at FROG 2010
Just a short news item today. I will be doing a presentation at the upcoming FROG conference in Vienna this weekend. The topic is called “Frankenstein Game Design” and it will be about the game design process of TRAUMA. I will also do a short demo.
As you might have noticed my spirit is not exactly in [...]
Long Game Development Paranoia
I’ve been working on TRAUMA way too long now. It’s not a healthy condition. It means that I may be wasting ideas and energy because I can’t move on as long as I’m working on the current game. There are also some nasty side-effect. I would call one of them Long Game Development Paranoia. The [...]
