Talking at Assembly
Hi,
Last Friday I went to Assembly in Helsinki to give a seminar. The title of my talk was “Creating Blueberry Garden – how to get away with bad design choices (sort of)”. It went pretty ok and some nice people in the audience even wanted to get me as a speaker at their uni 
Apart from giving the talk I mainly spent my time with Petri Purho and Cactus (who both were giving their own lectures) in some of the nice parks in Helsinki — great times!
Take care,
Erik

Hello. Is your presentation was available to view online anywhere? I would be interested to hear what you had to say about your game.

Would be so awesome if you could visit the Merz Akedemie in Stuttgart someday. Im studying “Interface Design” and last year Tale Of Tales gave an amazing lecture about game design and games as an art form. I would love to hear some of your ideas and opinions. Those lucky b*** at Helsinki …

Hello,
I haven’t bought your game, not because I don’t want too but because my old computer barely allowed me to play the demo. I discovered your game on Jeuxvideos.com and was moved by the beauty and the poetry of it, as well as its music to which I keep listening. Before that, I had no interest in video games other than playing them but your game made me realize that I’d like to create that kind of game someday and use it to tell the stories I write. I have no idea how its done and have no programming talent whatsoever but your game is a true inspiration and I guess I just wanted to thank you for that. And as soon as I get a new computer, I ‘ll buy your game.
Thank you.

Truly awesome to hear! I’m sorry that you can’t play the game now though… maybe you have a friend with a faster computer?
Take care,
Erik

Yep, I do, but I don’t see them often, and certainly not at their place. Anyways, I’m going to get a new computer around the start of next year and I’ll be sure to play it.
You too.
