Hey, sorry for the late reply to this. Increasing the difficulty in a game really depends on the direction. I can't say it in black and white that I would always do it one way or the other. It would depend on the game. I'm very interested in adapt…

Hey kids :)

Amazing opportunity this Wednesday evening

Just wanted to draw your attention to the great opportunity you have this Wednesday night to hear what the multi-award-winning (and hugely talented) composer Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson has to say about music in video games. He will be speaking at Hugmyndahúsið at an event which IGI takes part in:

http://igi.is/events/igi-igi-awards-at

From us there will at least be Eyjolfur from CCP speaking and Auðunn from the Path to Ares group will introduce w… Continue

All those troubled gamers - your thoughts?

Hey kids,

just came across this on RUV (Icelandic National Radio)
http://www.ruv.is/heim/frettir/frett/store64/item322053/
[ Icelandic only - sorry ]

Some encouragement for current and future game developers..

A triple whammy from BBC news.

Think outside the boxed packaging.
We have seen a lot of examples (and ideas) lately for using the various devices available in different ways than necessarily intended at the start. The iPhone is a classic example of this, as developers use the various sensors etc to their advantage in new and innovative ways.
