Laura Bularca's Blog
I am a game producer currently working on a free-to-play title in wonderful Sweden. I have previously worked as a producer and game director in Italy and Romania and shipped so far 4 commerial titles and an indie game. Before that, I was a custom software project manager & UX designer for 5 years and a freelance video games journalist for 11 years.
I am an indie enthusiast and a believer in video games as the next big thing to change the world, much like books, radio, and TV acted in the past. In my spare time I try to build my own games and game related projects. I am extremely passionate about production and how to make a team of amazingly creative people work together to ship a great experience.
On occasion I express myself on FaceBook, Tumblr, Twitter and LinkedIn.
News! If you have a Windows Phone 8, you can now play our first indie project, Know Inc!
My comments and posts are my own, and have nothing to do with the companies I work with. They are awesome and that's why I work for them :)

How a small team of three managed to promote valuable information and fact checking by launching a game for Windows Phone 8.
There is a lot of talk about women in games, but one topic is not nearly debated enough: why are there so few women indie game creators? As a woman myself, this is my try to introspect my own excuses, scold and lecture myself, and call for friends!
As a game maker with a software development background, I see gamification as the added value of making any kind of computer applications - and particularly game development tools - easy to use and fun!
Most people think of a job as more or less univalent in terms of requirements: the company asks and the worker provides. However, I would like to challenge this by listing my own set of requirements for an employer.

As far as I know, the only country with MANDATORY paternal leave is Portugal, but that is just for 10 days. However, maternal leave is not mandatory either, not even in Sweden, and even though some people might judge a woman for doing so, you can still have a child ...
