We are going to be in San Francisco from March 7-15 for the Game Developers Conference 2010 and the Flash Gaming Summit. We will be reconnecting with friends and looking for new opportunities. If you are in San Francisco next week and interested in discussing casual & social game development, design and marketing or potential projects, contact us.

We are giving a presentation on building casual and social games with Unity this Friday at the ITShowOff conference in Zagreb.

We are skipping the usual greeting card this year and would instead like to invite you to play our 3-minute holiday game. Play the game online (requires Unity) or download the full resolution version for free!

We just learned that the new Whitehouse.gov was build on Drupal. Drupal is the open source content-management system that we have chosen to be the core framework for a number of our social websites (among others: www.bringler.com and ww.surphone.net).

Nintendo has cut the price for its flagship console Wii 50$ to $199 (see this analysis at Gamasutra).

In games (especially casual), randomness (with its next-of-kin, user-generated content) is often misused as a shortcut or replacement for game design.

Motiviti is going to be at the Casual Connect conference in Seattle (3rd week of July).
