A Space For Beautiful Mistakes
Hvordan arbejder små indiespilfirmaer med forretningsudvikling? Hvad kan uddannelsesinstitutioner gøre for at støtte op om entreprenørskab i spilbranchen? Hvordan er det at tage springet fra studerende til spiludvikler?
I samarbejde med Erasmus+ projektet GameBiz EU har IDSU udgivet denne interviewbog med fire stærke spillere på det hollandske spilmarked – Ronimo Games, Stolen Couch, Active Cues og Gamistry – samt nogle af de fremmeste spiluddannelser og inkubationsmiljøer i Europa – HKU, Bournemouth University, ENTI, University of Malta, Viden Djurs, Dutch Game Garden og Game Hub Denmark. Tilsammen giver de svar på disse spørgsmål og meget mere. Den kan bruges som case-materiale, som inspiration eller endog som hyggelæsning.
Bogen er et praktisk supplement til den teoretiske The Business of Making Games, og fungerer således som en selvstændig efterfølger. Bogen er layoutet af Kristian Wulff fra Viden Djurs.
Som led i projektet blev teksten også oversat til tre andre sprog, dog uden at blive sat op. Den kan hentes på spansk, på hollandsk og endda på dansk!

How do small indie game developers work with business development? What can educational institutions do to support a spirit of entrepreneurship in their game students? What is it like to make the jump from student to game developer?
Cooperating with the Erasmus+ EU project GameBiz EU, IDSU presents this collection of interviews with four strong players from the Dutch game industry – Ronimo Games, Stolen Couch, Active Cues og Gamistry – as well as some of the most prominent game educations and icubational environments in Europe – HKU, Bournemouth University, ENTI og University of Malta, Viden Djurs, Dutch Game Garden, and Game Hub Denmark. Together, they hold the keys to answering the questions above – and so many more! The book is well-suited to be used as cases for educations, ans inspirations for students, game developers or educators, or even to read just for pleasure.
A Space for Beautiful Mistakes is a practically oriented companion piece to the more theoretically inclined The Business of Making Games. It works as a stand-alone sequel. A Space for Beautiful Mistakes’ book layout is by Kristian Wulff of Viden Djurs.
As part of the project, the text of the book was translated into three other languages, although it wasn’t put into the layout. It is available in Spanish, in Dutch and eeven in Danish!
