Here's my recent Cuphead talk about Djimmi the Great, from Konsoll Conference in Norway!

Ethics in Game Development

In late 2019 I did a talk at Konsoll and Sweden Game Conference about ethics in game development. The talk went over well even though it’s just a brief dip into the topic of ethics and how ethics affect us daily.

Konsoll was kind enough to stream it and later on share the video which I’ve embedded.

My reasoning behind pushing the ethics in game development agenda does paradoxically have a lot to…

It’s been a while since we’ve updated this thing now, and with good reason. Not to worry though, all is well with us and with Pode. Here’s a short report of what’s been going on. 

After we posted our last update here we entered the final stage of the alpha phase. Since then we’ve been working our fingers bloody under the relentless whip of Mr Deadline, but as they say about hard work - it pays off. By the end of September we put the alpha stamp on Pode and moved on towards beta, which is where we find ourselves now. YEY!

In the middle of all this we were so lucky to be visited by our beloved an much missed friend Jory’s parents, Sam and Lesley. It was truly wonderful to get to meet them and listen to their stories, and share our own Jory stories and experiences. They are amazing human beings and our hearts are with them as we all try to heal and move on. 

Then, on October the 20th the annual Konsoll games conference, which we are always looking forward to with anticipation, kicked off here in Bergen, and this year the committee had put together an absolutely amazing lineup. 

Before the conference we had a delegation of visitors come by the office at Bergen Game Collective, among these were some truly famous individuals. And we got to show of pode to (among others) the legendary Tim Schafer.

As we were all getting pumped up for the conference we also got some really great news. So, we are super happy to announce that we will be receiving another round of gouvernment funding. This means development is secured throughout the beta phase. Needless to say this was a great week for H&G :D

We are also super excited for our friends a We Heart Dragons for winning the Nordic Game Discovery Contest at Konsoll, taking them to the finals at Nordic Game 2017 in Malmö, Sweden.

And that about covers it. We will try our best to be back with more game updates soon. 

Until then!
