Bozar Arcade: Love and Emotions in Video Games

ibb & obb

by Richard Boeser

Unlike the competition often associated with video games, ibb & obb encourages dialogue and highlights human relationships and their collective construction. Discover the sketches of Richard Boeser for 'Ibb & Obb'.

“The initial title for the game was 'Brothers'. A tribute to the many fond memories I have of playing video games with my brother. The game's cooperative nature forces players to work together, creating a space for bonding and hopefully future fond memories.”

Richard Boeser (1979) is a Dutch game designer and artist living in Berlin, Germany. After studying industrial design he developed himself as a game designer and released the games ibb & obb and Chalo Chalo, with a third title called Dubio currently in development. Each of his games revolves around a unique mechanic, such as the inverted gravity in ibb & obb. Through a highly iterative process these core ideas are developed into full games that aim to be accessible and appealing to a broad audience.
