Der dukker flere og flere spil-events op her i Danmark, så jeg tænkte, at vi måske kunne have en tråd til sådanne arrangementer.#1 - Skrevet 11-06-2015 21:43 - Redigeret 11-06-2015 21:46
Jeg lægger ud med "SpilBar", som foregår i Aalborg i næste uge. Kort fortalt er SpilBar et koncept, hvor folk mødes og snakker om spil(udvikling). Som regel kommer der interessante talere fra både ind- og udland (fx var Tim Schafer fra Double Fine på besøg til SpilBar i Viborg for nogle måneder siden).SpilBar skrev:

Byens Rum, Hørfrøgade 4, 9000 Aalborg
Can You Gamify Depression? And why do I need a reason to touch my friends? When is a game more an experience than it’s entertainment? And can you use games to break social rules in areas such as infidelity, platonic love, the meaning of physical touch?
Come join us for SpilBar when Michael Levall and Jonas Vigstrand will talk about dealing with issues such as these through their games "Please Knock on My Door" and "A Reason to Touch".
As always our SpilBar talks will be followed by some casual networking and cosy atmosphere over a beer, soda and snacks.
