He was also responsible for the design of KetnetKick, a virtual world for children developed for Belgian children's channel Ketnet. This virtual world has later seen licensed implementations by several other children's channels, such as the British channel CBBC (titled Adventure Rock),[3] French channel Jeunesse TV (titled Gulliland),[4] and Norwegian channel NRK. KetnetKick has won the Kids Awards 2004 and 2005 for "Best Game of the Year".[5]
