Game Design for Social Networks is a one-day workshop where the participants will learn about creating and designing game concepts for online social networking platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter. The workshop is built around my work on researching social game design drivers and frameworks, and putting them into practice.

Flying Winemakers is a board game concept, and I am looking for a publisher. The game presents an original subject matter for a board game, differentiating itself in the market. It is aimed for casual board game players, and the game caters perfectly for social situations, such as dinner parties. Flying winemakers  teaches about the world of wine through enjoyable play. The concept is also suitable for co-branding and marketing with wine producers, and so on. The game is designed as a modular concept: add-on parts with new countries and new grapes can be implemented in future editions and add-on packs.

My Ph.D. on game design theory was completed in March 2008. It has been quoted as 'hugely ambitious work, which puts a stake in the ground for game studies' by Jesper Juul, and 'Remarkable and ambitious piece of work' by James Paul Gee. The thesis is available for download as a PDF. Read more about it and download here.
