I'll shortly introduce myself by highlighting some of my earlier work ranging from image processing, human motion perception, navigation in Virtual Reality, to videoconferencing. Next, I'll zoom in on two recent studies:

1. a novel navigation method for mobile displays called dynamic peephole navigation, and
2. multimodal perception experiments that reveal how visual flashes induce illusory tactile taps and the other way around.

Creating Games is a very chaotic process. You have to create a game that is fun for a lot of users, but how do you define fun. There is no set of rules to abide to create the ultimate fun game, so a different approach is needed. The best way to handle this is to try out your ideas in small steps to see what works and to constantly adjust along the way. Welcome to the agile development method used a W!Games.

Agile development is the method we use to control the chaos in developing our games. Using agile development we let the creativity come from the team itself and only give direction with a global vision. To manage the teams and receive insight on their progress and decisions we use the SCRUM system. At the technical side of our studio we are introducing Extreme Programming to handle all the changes.

This lecture will give you more insight in the methods used a W!Games and the stories of what did work and what did not work. It will explain the methods used and how they can be used in a game company.
