Average Days @ Hyper Island

Concept Development

Hi there!

You maybe thought that we were going to have some cooldowntime after the intence Exerience Technology module but noooo….

Found a nice picture that Ina took of our team during last module. Man shes good at taking photos






Anywho, I’m not gonna write that much because I have stuff to do.
In this module we are suppose to come up with a business idea and develop the whole concept and later on present the idea for potential investors! In other words, this is my ticket to the phrase “IM RICH BITCH!!”

The team is formed by
Adrian – Project Manager
Me – Administrator
Maja – Copywriter
Sebastian – Designer
Madeleine – Designer

I must say I was very pleased with the new team, lots of good people that I have alot in common with.

Our first assignment was to by tomorrow present 50 (yes fifty) potential business ideas, including 5 that we think are the best. I mean… FIFTY F***ing ideas!!!?

The good thing though, is that, in writing moment, we 54 of them =) So we are already safe for that one. We are just waiting for our killer app that will make us rich and famous.

Oh and today we had probably one of the best lectures so far.
Teo Härén from intresting.org were here to inspire us, and inspire us he did!

Last I’m gonna start recommending some tracks. I always wanted to blog about music so I’m gonna sneak in some when I get the chance

Empire of the sun – Walking on a dream

Good night!

Called in sick.

I called in sick to school today.
I guess the pressure and stress lately prevented me from being sick, and when the ease from the weekend after the exibithion settled the viruses just jumped me all at once So now I’m covered in snot and is having the nasties mouth sore since ww2… I look like Ive been botoxed or something, and because of that I can barely speak, just drool…

Anywho, the exibithion was a success!! A lot of people came to visit us and try out our stuff! As soon as I get a hold of some nice pictures from the event I will post them.

Now I’m gonna keep on with my vectavirtreatment, and hopefully I can come to school tomorrow, we got a new module and we are supposed to present 50 business ideas by this friday :/ yikes…

10h to deadline :|

Gaaaaah the time is 22.44 and we are so freaking tired Just wanted to post a happy happy picture.

The karlskrona students arrived today as well, in time for the exibition! Cute fellas.

peace and I’ll write after the trauma.

Thought I should post some pictures from the day before I go home.

Remember!
The exibition is on the 24th of october!
Be there!

peaceout

aMAZEing progress

God damn, busy days it is nowdays!

The project’s running relatively smooth. We are almost finished with the prototype, we have some problems to straighten out first though.

The game that is running on Flash9 is not running at full speed for some reason. But I’m confident that Björn and me will figure the thing out tomorrow. Also that the rest of the group finishes up with the building of the controls for the game (although I must say I’m not that satisfied with the looks of it so far). Well even though the project might end up in a way that I didn’t had in mind I still learned so much on this module and are very happy with that.

Alicia is working on the games heroes!

Man I looked tired...

With all my focus concentrated on the aMAZE-project my freelancejob for Wallbergs is taking a little more time than expected, but I hope I can finish up soon. It’s mainly just bugfixes left to do.

The worst thing with the current overload in tasks is that a job I really really want to do is offered at the moment, Acne is doing a collaberation with Lanvin and asked us to do the campaignsite for it, paying in money and clothes from the upcomming collection! Craptastic that I miss out on it

New place new look!

I finally did it!

I finally moved myself away from the all the banners and restrictions and got my own blog

This is just the start thought, with the look and everything. Now that I took the step to use wordpress(crazy easy to set up by the way) I’m starting to create my own theme for the thing as well. That is when I get some spare minutes for doing so.

The project

There is some pretty intense days at Hyper nowdays. Everyone have started out with the Experience Technology Projects and are running around building, programming, designing like their life depended on it. But I think everyone is enjoying it, I know I am, although one extra week before deadline would do alot for lowering the stresslevel

Our team, G9, is built by this eminent crew:

Martin – Project Leader

Adrian – Head Art Director
Alicia – Admin and Illustator
Björn – Head tech
Me – Tech bitch

Whats our project then?

Our project is to, using phidgets, create a game that not only let’s you play a computer game, but also forces the player to move in physical space to be able to advance in the game.

How do we plan on doing that? Well that’s not official yet, though we are videodocumenting our progress so when I get the hands on some footage I will post it!

I have been pretty slow on reporting about our lecturers, but as you know the time is short!
Today we had a visit by Erik Sjödin from Interaktiva Institutet in Stockholm. He talked a little about his work in the Tech/Art business.

Hmm I was going to post some pictures but it won’t seem to work :/ Well I stop writing now and focus on the pictures!

Gnight! (hmmz.. the pics show but formatting is weird.. anywho gotta sleep.)

Phidgetman!

Doh.. once again I’m to tired to write in detail.
So instead I’ll post some pics from late last week and the the weekend.

I got a new keyboard for my setup at school, also a nifty little box to put my computer on when I’m in school! Also fits papers and other stuff!

Adobe swinged by and gave us a bunch of “sura pirater” candy!

These are the phidgets (Physical Widgets) my group is supposed to build something with in the next couple of weeks.

On friday me and guys checked out Fred Falke’s set at Debaser Medis! Great show, insane laser.

Oh nice layout blogger
