I am very happy to announce that I have received some funding to start a Korean Games research group in the Digital Media program at Georgia Tech. We are still in the early stages of planning the activities of the group, which will commence in Spring 2026. In the meantime, I am looking forward to putting together our team and starting to acquire the materials and equipment that we will be using.

I had the chance to talk about the group, and our goals, in a DM Talk in October. This was a bit of a unique experience for me, since I normally use these talks to present research results or the early stages of specific projects, but I think that it went well nonetheless.

I have started work on a new research project. However, unlike most of my projects, this represents a brand new research trajectory for me! Stemming from a conference paper abstract about the samurai invasion of the Korean peninsula in 1592, I have been inspired to undertake a full-scale Korean games project.

I was happy to give another talk in our DM Talks series at Georgia Tech that outlined my early findings. The video outlines my research methods, early impressions, and future research trajectories for the project. It includes a detailed account of the works that I have been reading, a discussion of my research trip to Korea, and of course, some of my thoughts on all of the Korean games that I have been playing.

I’m looking forward to continuing this project! For now, I’ve been expanding my knowledge base by reading more Korean history books and playing a bunch of Korean games. I’m also starting to seek out potential collaborators.
