Im Computerspielemuseum
January 18th, 2011 by moboid
Berlin-based fans and thrillseekers!
You are cordially cajoled to mark your calendars for the grand re-opening of Berlin’s Computerspielemuseum in its new permanent digs in Friedrichshain!
Kokoromi is extremely proud to be part of the CSM’s new exhibit, contributing a video documentation from our event Gamma4: One Button Games. The video was produced by our pals at Area5.tv, who captured gigabytes of great footage at the event, and were kind enough not only to share it with us, but to edit together a sweet reel of the games and music.
For now the video can be seen only at CSM, but it marks the renewal of our ongoing efforts to archive, edit and release documentation of Kokoromi projects, which we realize has been horribly lackadaisical thus far.
So, if you want to come celebrate in Berlin, here’s where and when to show up. Doors to the museum open to the public for the first time this Friday, January 21, 2011 at 10am! The Computerspielemuseum is also host to the closing event of Berlin’s Global Game Jam on January 30. I (Heather) will be there – come say hello!
Computerspielemuseum Karl-Marx-Allee 93A 10243 Berlin, Germany

SET YOUR HYPERCUBES TO SUPER
July 29th, 2010 by fish
I am totally going to appear at this thing.
And then disappear just as mysteriously as i appeared.
Leaving everybody behind, uncertain of what it all meant, but certain that they were changed forever.
In the silence, they can still hear the whispers: ” babycastles… babycastles… ”

ANNOUNCING: THE GAMES
March 7th, 2010 by cloo
Gamma IV comes to San Francisco’s Mezzanine (444 Jessie Street) this Wednesday, March 10th, 2010! We’re in an extra powerful scramble to make sure this is the best Gamma yet.
Meanwhile, we’re pleased to announce the six brand-new One Button Games, chosen from over 150 submissions(!), for this year’s Gamma:
- Silent Skies by Spyeart
- Poto & Cabenga by Honeyslug
- 4Fourths by Mikengreg
- B.U.T.T.O.N. (Brutally Unfair Tactics Totally OK Now) by Copenhagen Game Collective
- GAMMA IV – THE GAME by cactus
- Faraway by Steph Thirion
This year presented a significant curatorial challenge for us, given the exceptional quality and diversity of submissions to our “one-button games” call. The six games we ended up choosing demonstrate creative approaches to the one-button restriction, AND are tailored to the unique challenges of Gamma’s “new arcade” format. Games will be displayed on large screen projections and set to music from Starpause (SF), Baiyon (Kyoto), Class Prez (ATX), and more.
Also, don’t forget that from March 11th-13th, you can check out the One Button Games showcase at the Gamma IV Pavilion on the GDC Show Floor, presented in association with the Game Developers Conference.
And for more Gamma fun, come see One Button Objects on March 12th, a collection of playful circuit hacked creations inspired by the Gamma4 theme, at Gray Area Foundation for the Arts (55 Taylor St. San Francisco).
Gamma IV
Wednesday, March 10th, 8pm-3am
Free entry with any GDC badge
$10 public admission
Entry to Mezzanine is 21+, with I.D.
Yay yay yay…

Kick it into the black
February 7th, 2010 by moboid
We’re still feverishly playing and debating all the great Gamma4 games we received last week! So while you wait for us, why not browse the primo rewards we’re offering in our brand-new Kickstarter campaign. We launched the campaign today to raise the last chunk funds that we need, to hold our amazing curated indie game debut party-thing next month in San Francisco! A whole slew of indie devs have given us great schwag like tshirts, download codes, and maquettes to pass along to our pledgers. Most enticing of all, we are offering THREE All-Access GDC Passes, generously donated by Think Services! For $1600, getting your GDC pass from the Gamma4 Kickstarter campaign isn’t only The Right Thing To Do, it’s just plain economical.
