Radical Gamedesign
With the SPIELSALON our colleagues at Kunsthochschule Kassel recently introduced an aspiring new festival format to the German games crowd. Situated at the Fredericanum in Kassel, which is home of the infamous doCUMENTA, the festival´s statement was quiet clear: Games are Art!
In collaboration with students from their animation class Prof. Meyer Hermann and Prof Bramkamp did an amazing job by bringing up an impressive games and speaker lineup.
Early birds that we are, @m_boesch and I got to do a little interview with Paolo Pedercini of la molleindustria. Here are some essential bits about his game design approach.
