Games without Frontiers

Wait goes on

I haven’t posted in ages, mostly due to the fact that there has been no visible process to report about. I’m still waiting for my examination results concerning the Ph.D. Suddenly it seems to be a bit unsure whether I’m able to defend the work during 2007.

Well, on a more positive note, I’m leaving for Tokyo Game Show and the DiGRA Conference next week. In addition, the online analysis tools are nearing their alpha stage, and I will be having a test workshop on them with the Game Research Lab scholars in Tampere on October. At some point during the coming months, they will be available publicly - as will my thesis, hopefully. I got a poster into the Futureplay Conference on the subject, but I won’t be travelling there myself. There will be some teaching gigs, though, at least in Sweden during the rest of the year, it would seem. My board game prototype is almost ready for some serious pitching to publishers, too. In the middle of all this, I’m trying to find time and energy to play Bioshock.
Anyhow, I’m looking forward to the trip to Japan, nice people, and all that Tokyo cool :) Feel free to contact via e-mail if you want to know more about my projects.
