rrCombining news, opinion and gameplay may sound odd or flippant, but the offerings so far on this fascinating site are neither. The developers participating here feel that games are a learning tool and a way of commenting on the world as well as a form of entertainment. They’re just getting started, but clearly there’s some fresh thinking here as well as an up-to-date appreciation for the activities that truly shape many folks’ understanding of the world.
rOf course, I wish I could launch more games more often. Sept12 will be a year old in a few months, and Madrid was launched in March. I think that I have discovered the obvious, that projects do have a life far more longer than your attention to them. While I am really happy with Newsgaming, it gets a bit repetitive to talk to journalists over and over about the same game. On the other hand, I am glad that the project keeps getting attention (I haven't checked the stats in quite a while, but the visitors keep adding up, rounding several hundreds of thousands). My move to Denmark has made me incredibly busy, but now that I am more settled (read: no more need for long trips to Ikea), things may calm down a bit. I am working on a new game, by the way. But it is still on pre-production, so nothing will be launched for at least several months.r
