Getting creative with how I display my alternative controller game.

POV you finish prototyping your alternative controller videogame and pose it in front of architecture which inspired its design

Finally took out the wearable game I've been working on! It's at a level where I can take it into the outside world and begin testing it.

I just finished making a high fidelity prototype of the wearable game I've been brainstorming for the past couple of years. Can't wait to take it around town and try it out.

I finally edited the footage I received from the Jeugdfilmfestival Antwerpen (Youth Film Festival Antwerp). I showcases my game, Sound Blok, a stackable synth where players stack cubes to generate different sounds.

I finally got around to adding a texture to my low-poly character. I want to get better at making art in #blender. I learned how to do this by taking @crashsune.bsky.social 's awesome course on YouTube!

I recently showcased Blok Tower at the Jeugd Film Festival in Antwerp, Belgium.
Blok Tower is a stackable synth where you stack cubes to make music.
I really enjoyed designing the custom connections between the cubes and making them pass information to one another.

Building a tall tower!
Over the past couple of months, I've been working on making a stackable synth where you can stack some cubes on top of one another and make some weird music!
Tomorrow, I'll be taking this to the XL-medialab at the Youth Film Festival Antwerp.

Finally! There is better cohesion between the stacking mechanism in place and the audio changes.
