Zootgart
Zootgart is an open source game developers kit we're developing in collaboration with Akiba from Freaklabs.
Zootgart will allow developers to add light and sound to printed boardgames and cardgames without adding an extra screen.
The first prototype is the Who Ate The Cake? boardgame.
There is a competitive and co operative mode. In the competitive mode, players need to capture all the cakes before Sweetooth Mould takes over the board, whilst also avoiding traps and losing cakes to other players.
In the co operative mode, players choose to play a character. Each character has special powers. Players have to work together to save the cakes from Sweetooth Mould before he takes over the board.

Workshops
Write Your Own Gamebook
A gamebook is fiction where the reader is a character in the story, and participates in the story by making choices.
In this workshop participants learn about the gamebook genre including writing stories with branching narratives and multiple endings, the role of the reader and what the genre reveals about decision making processes.
Participants then write their own gamebook which is read by the group who together choose which path to take!

How much do first sentences contribute to the success of a book, and are they really the reason why we continue or stop reading?
