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 (press release). Now I am a freelancing consultant and games researcher. One of my clients is the german online gaming website www.fettspielen.de which is supported by the internatinal Holtzbrink group (more on Fettspielen).

Research:

I am interested in how demographics like age and gender affect game preference. I conducted a quantitative survey at the Ludwigs Maximillians Universität in Munich and plan to publish the results August 2008.

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.

Conference:

I will be at the Games Convention in Leipzig in August 2008.

I attended the Casual Connect Conferences in Amsterdam 2006,7,8 and the seminars at the gamelab in Tampere/Finnland 2007 and 8
