Where Is My Heart? At E3!

Those of you attending E3 this week should stop by the IndieCade booth! Our very own PSP game Where Is My Heart? will be on display for the public to try. Even better, it will be joined by a number of other rad indie games (we’re particularly excited about Honeyslug’s Hohokum and Richard Boeser’s Ibb & Obb).

In addition, IndieCade asked us to design a special B.U.T.T.O.N.-inspired poster for their E3 showcase. Nils had a lot of fun with the assignment. But who are those other people in the photo with us?! See if you can figure out who they are!

Arcade Boat Photos

Earlier this month we threw a crazy party/exhibition on Illutron, an art boat in one of Copenhagen’s harbors!

We had a blast! We’ll try to upload some video soon. Meanwhile, here are some nice photos by our friend Johan:

Who: Us, the Copenhagen Game Collective!
Where: Illutron, Alliancevej, Teglholmens Østkaj 43, Copenhagen (map here)

Over the last year, we’ve had the opportunity to showcase our games all around Europe and North America. Now, we’d like to throw an exhibition here at home, to party with our home crowd and to show Copenhagen what we’ve been working on.

We’re teaming up with Illutron, a “collaborative interactive art studio” based on a big ol’ barge in the Copenhagen South Harbor at Teglholmen. Formerly known as “Half Machine,” Illutron throws some of the best exhibitions and parties in Copenhagen. We’re very excited to join forces!

Don’t worry, the ship is anchored by shore, so you’re free to come and go whenever you like. Yes, it’s all the way down in Sydhavn, but it will certainly be worth the bike/train ride. Get directions here.

We’ll be showing B.U.T.T.O.N., Where Is My Heart, Johann Sebastian Joust!, Monkey See Monkey Mime, and more. As far as I’m aware, this will be the very first public demo of the soon-to-be-finished Where Is My Heart build. Awesome!

And who knows, we might even bust out some crazy folk games!

Make sure to bring cash if you want to buy beer. Or feel free to bring your own booze. Weather permitting, we may also set up some grills, so feel free to bring your own grillables/dinner too.

2010 – The Year of B.U.T.T.O.N.

In case you missed it, we finally released B.U.T.T.O.N. for Xbox Live Indie. Woo hoo! Just in time for all the New Years Eve revelry!

Check out the game’s new website, or follow news about the game on Twitter. The Xbox Live Indie service isn’t available in all countries – or at least not in Denmark (booo!). Fret not, we’ll be releasing a PC version of the game very soon. Stay tuned.

Where is My Heart mini-trailers!

Bernie has been hard at work on his upcoming PSP game, Where Is My Heart?

He’s just released four “mini-trailers” to tease some of the new features he’s been working on. Here’s my favorite one:

I’ve been lucky enough to try the new build here at the office. The new rotation mechanic is very satisfying to play around with! It takes the core idea of the game – the fragmented viewport – and forefronts it in a way that forces the player to think about the game space in a strange new way. Ingenious stuff.

Check out the other three trailers after the jump.

Whew – it’s been a while, blog!

Here in CPH, the lot of us have been busy. Too busy, even. Hopefully we’ll have something to show for it soon. Stay tuned!

Meanwhile, you may have noticed that we’ve added Bernie Schulenburg’s Where is my Heart? to our list of featured games. Welcome to the collective, Bernie!
