Hi there. I came across a tweet regarding your “call to arms” in the spirit of serious gaming. Hope you’re still feeling motivated because I’ve been seeking a like minded individuals that would really like to push the boundaries of conventional gaming.

My background is a B.A. in Multimediatechnology and Design from HiA (Now UiA). Continued from there with a year of general psychology and another studying social entrepreneurship.

As for actual game development I participated in Microsofts Imaginecup Spring 2009 with a game about sustainable development in rural areas, a 2d game containing mini-games that played off concepts of team building and brainstorming solutions to complex developmental issues. I was the artist/designer on a team with two other Indian based programmers who I only met with virtually. Long story short we got through to the semi-finals, but hitting the deadline for the finals submissions proved to hard for us. We went on to laugh it off as we knew we had gained invaluable lessons and some nice friendships along the way.

Anyhow. Much wiser now to the dangers of “overscoping” game projects and with the horrors of crunching for 2.5 months well behind me I’d like to try again with newfound fervour.

These days I’m working full time, and freelancing on the side. That makes super busy for the summer, but it would be cool if we could try to toss some ideas back and forth. Maybe some “casual-academic” Facebook game, “UniVille” anyone?

By the way have seen this Ted Talk? It sure inspired me. Jane McGonigal: Gaming can make a better world

Alright. Hope to hear from you. (Dunno why I wrote this in English. Er jo norsk!)

Comment on Captain Clueless. My life after raiding and why bad players stay bad. by Kristine

Kristine — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 14:27:33 +0000

You have made the case of expert players better then me. I guess I had just been a bit blinded about this expert practice. I have been trying to understand what processes surround the knowledgeable player, and in such – lost sight of the player knowing little or nothing. Just as non-use is just as important as use, studying those without the knowledge is as important as understanding those with it.

So this post is part frustration over dealing with absolute ignorance (as a player), and part frustration over realizing a methodological issue with my study (as a researcher). The result however (player + researcher) is the quite common QQ.

After all. Its teh internetz.
