Our students just spent an intense weekend running a local jam site on campus Gotland. The theme this year was “transmission” and in just 48 hours they managed to produce no less than 13 games.
Here’s some photos from the play-testing earlier today:
Speaking at TEDxUppsalaUniversity
… well, spoke rather, as TEDx Uppsala University took place a few months back. But the recordings were just made available so here goes!
Our own Patrick Prax ventured off island back in November to give a talk about co-creation in gaming – how players literally help build the games they play. In it he situates play and modding as important and deeply social forms of cultural participation. The talk highlights often-neglected parts of gaming (such as; community-driven research and development) and points out a potential tension between that and the commercial interests of rights-holders.

The recorded lectures are made available on our YouTube-channel!
