Internship - concept game designer at Daedalic Entertainment, Germany.

From 14 March to 8 Juli. I will work as an intern in concept game design at Daedalic Entertainment, Germany. I'm looking forward to my time over there.

2 GAMES OUT NOW ! !

I've released two more games, that could be downloaded from my portfolio.

Korpen: This is a card game played with a standard 52 card deck. Korpen is a fast passed mindreading game, about guessing when the opponent player is lying and telling you the truth.

Global Paparazzi: This is an elaborate version of the portable travel game, developed for Idekompaniet. Players play photographers who travel around Erope, taking photos of pupular attractions. The player who manages to take most photographs wins the game.


I'm also releasing a 3rd game, in a few weeks. Stay updated!

Advancing

Things are moving forward for me in the interindustry. As I mentioned in a previous comment, I wrote a thesis on Facebook-games. I took the opportunity show it to some Swedish game companies which are focused on the topic. Both Muskedunder Interactive and Stillfront showed interest in my skills.

I went ahead with an interview with Muskedunder. They wanted to see my character, and took the moment to show me around there office. Before i left i was told that they are thinking about starting a new game project, and that they would have need for a game designer/project manager.

Stillfront on the other hand gave me a task. They wanted me to analyze one out of there games, and look at what could be improved. I submitted a document which contained my analysis. They were very pleased with the results, and informed me that I was on their radar as a potential game designer.

Aside from this I'm thinking of new ways to demonstrate and improve my game design skills.Right now I'm thinking about joining the mod community. There are many talented developers out there who work in interesting game project. I'm more then qualified to help the development. Right now I'm keeping my eyes on a project named Outcast.

Thesis: Why do we play Facebook games?

I wrote a thesis that explains why we play the three most popular Facebook games (Farmville, Happy Aquarium, World Café). I'v also looked closer at what’s unique about these games, and what they have in common.

The thesis is written in Swedish. You can find the thesis in my portfolio or through clicking on the link down below.
