Sent that article round SRS.
A few people really liked the idea of the 18+ circus game.. Definately had huge potential if it was done correctly. Pity.. -
I’m out in Ballyfermot on the course that Shane Whelan co-ordinates, the lessons learned at Kapooki have had an important part in the development of the course I think. Having talked to a few friends that are studying games design in the UK, the format and modules of the course in Ballyfermot seem to have greatly benefited from the experience and the mistakes made in Kapooki, the course is only 2 years but looking at the standard of work being produced by my classmates and their mentality, It compares favourably with the work I have seem coming from people in degree courses in the UK. Many of us would probably kill to get a 3rd year in Ballyfermot and not because we feel under prepared. That’s not bravado "I’m great, I know it all when it comes to games design" many of us are heading on to Degree’s at the end of this year to continue learning, It’s just that we appreciate how much we can get from Shane and his experiance in Kapooki out in Ballyfermot.

maybe some of the Kapooki lads could do a Q&A sometime to discuss other matters face to face. Hard to cover everything in a feature article and some things are best said more informally.
Happy to say we have covered most of the ‘RIP’ Irish companies now in past features.
I hope the future includes more ‘look how well they are doing’ features..
