*blows dust off blog*
Some of you - well, one person anwyay - may have noticed that I am not blogging much these days. There are two reasons for this:
One, I am hard at work. For ludicrous reasons entirely my own I can’t yet tell you what I am working on, but it’s fun and it’s [...]

I remembered just in time that 18 years ago today, I started my first day of professional and paid work in the games industry, at the long-defunct, quasi-legendary German company Thalion software. I can’t recall if I’ve blogged about this before. Every year it grows slightly less meaningless, until 2011 when I hit 20 years [...]
I just remembered that this blog is now 6 years old. Or rather, on December 19th 2008 the blog was 6 years old. But hey, who’s keeping count. Well, me, OK, I will grant you that. Anyway. 6 years. Wow. Pretty… meaningless. Apart from being a long time. Kind of. Not compared to the age [...]
Hi. Remember me? I hate writing blog posts about not having blogged for a while, so I will keep that part short.
I have been busy the last 6 weeks, but if you were to ask me what exactly I’ve been doing, I’d have trouble answering you. I read a book about accounting and am now [...]

GamesIndustry.biz interviewed Raphael Colantonio during last week’s Game Connection in Lyon about the loss of the EA project:

OK, this will likely only interest people who know a little about Viennese sub-cultures and slang and the current US elections… but if you do, you may find this OBAMOIDA T-shirt hilarious. Full disclosure: Even if you’re not getting one for free, like me.
While you’re there, why not check out the other fine articles in [...]
Picture by my friend Michael. While I like traveling, I would like a little more stability. I am trying to avoid the “months in tiny rooms far from home” gigs, but the last two were just too hard to say no to.
I originally posted this on Thursday night, but I forgot that some people in Lyon might read this before the company meeting where all was explained, so I took it down for a while.
This evening I noticed three industry friends twittering about being sorry for their friends’ loss. I was worried - what was going [...]
Time to help friends with a little publicity: On October 1st, AIGameDev.com, one of the top websites for AI in games, launched a premium membership area. It contains a ton of content, such as code samples, an AI sandbox, technical reports, master classes, interactive discussions with experts, A/V sessions… The mind boggles. I can’t [...]
So what is this big news I alluded to earlier?
First of all, on October 1st I moved to Lyon and started working for Arkane Studios as a producer on a title they are developing with Electronic Arts. If all goes well, I will permanently move from Vienna to Lyon at the beginning of 2009.
This is [...]
