Assembly’06 will be held from 3rd to 6th August. Continuing with my yearly tradition, I’ll be there once again. This year I will be giving a seminar speech on The Neglected Art of Fixed Point Arithmetic. Feel free to come and say hi to me if you will be at the event! I’ll probably also try to create a game for the game development competition, although my work on that is still in its early stages.

I finally returned back to Finland from my trip to California for GDC and some vacation time. The conference was great. By chance I even spotted Stuntcar Extreme running on MS Windows Mobile stand at the expo area, as you can see from the right. Vacation time after the conference was great as well, except for the fact that it was the rainiest March in California in 150 years! (And apparently they just didn’t have statistics for longer period than that.) So I got to see only a few glimpses of the sun.

I’ll be present at the Game Developers Conference 2006, held March 20-24 in San Jose, CA. If you are coming there as well and want to meet me, please contact me asap! After the conference I’ll be having two weeks of vacation around the area, so I will be mostly out of reach for three weeks starting from March 19.

I recently uploaded bunch of stuff to Google Video, and just added links to some of the videos to the creations page[s], such as this one. And by the way, if you didn’t already know, some of my musical work is available separately from my page in mikseri.net.

2009 Update: Videos replaced with YouTube links.

February 2006 issue of GEE Magazine contains an interview (page 9) about me and my hobby & job about making games.

I added some new images and links to the awards and stuff what my projects have got. I also added a few images and bit of info about a mobile street racing game which I was working on last year.

Planetfreeplay.com is featuring a new interview with me about the Dismount™ Games.

Stair Dismount got mentioned in an interview with Mark Healey in Gamasutra. He told that his game Rag Doll Kung Fu was influenced by Stair Dismount, which is of course very nice to know! A quote about that also made it to the Slashdot.

FlatOut 2 blog has some pictures from the MindTrek 2005 event, including nice mention about Pogo Sticker. :-) Their great game FlatOut was also one of the finalist in the MindTrek Grand Prix.

I’m happy to announce that my game Pogo Sticker won the MindTrek 2005 casual game competition!
