I’ve been working on this side project for several months now. It’s a hand-made ceramic video game? It’s still a WIP, but I got everything wired up for the first time last night so I could test controlling all the lights individually. Exciting step! Now I β€œjust” have to make it interactive. πŸ˜…

Yeah exactly! I just need a commercial solution since it's for a big museum and I don't want to do any maintenance πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

Your experiment sounds fun, let me know if you need any help with the hardware / soldering / whatever!

Ooh! Let me know if you find good ones with a z-axis. Only one I've found is the Kensington Slimblade Pro, and it's kinda janky there

I’m not at GDC this year, but @art.imitates.life and @cigumo.bsky.social are going to do #GDCFeet tomorrow! (Saturday 22nd). Join them for a playful hike around the Lands End headlands!
The stars are right. Fallen lichens and grains of sand crunch between our #GDCFeet as we say our long goodbyes.

We will gather at Powell Street Station, 11 AM on Saturday, where the sun reaches under the ground.

Hello GDC! I'm in San Francisco to check out the alt ctrl games and meet friends 🀩
