Hello, and Thank You to everyone who has signed up to receive updates about Codemancer! \u00a0The team and I have been hard at work on the game, and if you’re impatient and want to skip to the video below, I don’t blame you.<\/p>\n

As part of Codemancer’s development, I’ve been seeking the opinions of experienced learning game researchers and developers. \u00a0Just a few days ago I went to Madison, WI, which is one of the few Meccas for those of us interested in games for learning. \u00a0I visited the\u00a0Games+Learning+Society department\u00a0<\/a>at UW Madison. \u00a0I also spent some times with the folks at\u00a0Ronin Studios<\/a>. \u00a0Everyone was very positive about the prospects of the game, and gave me a lot of inspiration for ways to improve the design.<\/p>\n

I’ve also been trying to be better connected to my peers who are developing learning games themselves. \u00a0If you’re working on an educational game, or have made one in the past, please get in touch.<\/p>\n

Once again, thanks for signing up to take this journey with me. \u00a0I hope I can entertain you along the way.<\/p>\n

Many Thanks,
\nRob Lockhart
\nCreative Director, Important Little Games<\/p>\n
