Melisande joins Brightonweb

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

MelVoila everybody! I’m Melisande. I’m the new trainee of Richard’s team. In the next 4 weeks, I’m working on the BOGfest project and  I’m very enthusiastic about it.

I’m 28, I come from France and on the 1st day I tried one of the GPS games, it was a lot of fun and it told me something about the story of Brighton. Without hesitating, I recommend everyone “The Treasure Hunt “.

Raphaela joins BOGfest

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

RaphaelaHello there, my name is Raphaela and I’m the new helping hand for Richard. In the next few weeks I’m going to help him prepare the fantastic BOGfest and get involved in the marketing. Moreover, I’ll be here to  support developing new games.

I’m from Austria but live and work in Brighton. To be honest, at the beginning I was slightly confused with all those new ideas and the thing with the gps but yesterday I got to play the treasure hunt game and actually loved it! I think it’s so much fun and I really wonder now why noone else had the idea before of creating that type of game. I’m sure this is going to be a great success and hey, now I’m part of it!!!

igFest

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Bristol is the latest city to have a games festival, and it was here that I attended my first full event. So inspired by what they have achieved here that I have returned to Brighton with the intention of helping get something going here next year.

Probably the most interesting thing I noticed, both watching and playing games, was how simple things seem to work best – with or without technology. A good idea, well executed = fun. I played The Lost Sport of Olympia, Bad Taste Party, Holla Lu Lu and Binocular Football.

Thanks to George who created 2 LocoMatrix treasure hunts (with an animal theme) starting from the Watershed. Still playable if anyone wants to try.
