Strudel in Frankfurt while waiting for our connection!

Sketches for slide images for my talk… which was on Game Education: past, present and future.

Hannover – at the venue which was really cool.

DC talks about Player Expression

 UI in Rock Band – excellent talk!!

Early versions of the front end…

Different character looks…

Graphic art inspirations for the UI included tattoos, textiles and traditional Rock Posters.

The wall of UI screens for Rock Band! Wow!!

Designs for bars – the curved bars made people ill!

Final “faded” look was actually the result of a bug… but worked really well!

Post-nap, for dinner w/the crew…

German food = meat + veggie + beer.

Taaaasty!

Girly drinks at the crazy opium-den style restaurant next to the train station in Hannover.

It was open late – and had pillow-seating. What more could you ask for?

Impromptu Experimental Gameplay meeting – over more meat and beer. Mmmm. Meaty.

And of course, Nutella crepes. Is there anything better??
