Hi from Copenhagen!
We just finished our game jam. We got this done in two days in a folk high school an hour outside of town. It was awesome… although there wasn’t a single girl out of 30-35 of us.

First, we would watch a Keynote addressed to individuals from New Zealand to California, granting us the courage to begin our task. It was given in near silence, by Katamari Damacy’s designer in a body humourous style. Then we would sit in quiet for 10 minutes and …
The 8th Annual Montreal International Game Summit brought designers, artists, engineers, academics and business people to Montreal to share the sets of knowledge each has gained from their involvement with video games. Of course, many were covering their asses, bending the truth and self-promoting their institutions and themselves. However, that is standard fare for this industry; no one is really going to tell a group of eager game developers that their company is money grubbing, pulp media producing, enslavement camp, especially when …
