About Ulrich Tausend:
I am researching and working with games.
Work:
In 2000 I co-founded the online casual games company Neokolor/Neodelight.com which we sold January 2008 to the Indian company 7Seas Technologies (personal comments, official press release). After one year as a freelancing consultant (eg. for www.fettspielen.de) and researcher I am now running the research department at remote control productions.
Research:
I am interested in how demographics like age and gender affect game preference. I conducted a quantitative survey as part of my diploma thesis at the Ludwigs Maximillians Universität in Munich on this topic. Read more about it here.
Paper:
"Why do more women play casual games than men, if altogether
more men play computer games than women?"Read my paper on Casual
Games and Gender.
Blog:
Read my blog neogames on casual and hardcoregames.
Conferences:
The last Conferences I were the Casual Connect Conferences in Amsterdam 2006/7/8
and the seminars at the gamelab
in Tampere/Finnland 2007/8, the Games Convention 2007/8 in Leipzig, die Entwicklerkonferenz (Quo Vadis) 2009 in Berlin and Digital Learning 2009 in Munich.
I will be at the Games Com August 2009 in Collogne and would be happy to meet you there.
