Replying to @thek4sen - Oh hey! This is what we've been working on this summer: TIE ๐ YOUR๐ LACES ๐ An indie/alt.ctrl arcade installation of speed and agility, designed for 4 people, spectators, and BIG SPACES ๐ #altctrl

TGSใซใชใขใซใใใฏใทใงใใใใใ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ - If you're visiting the V&A's amazing new Videogames exhibition, you'll find 4 alternative arcade cabinets in the final gallery. We've spent the last 4 months designing, producing and installing them. It's been one of the most incredible things we've ever done #designplaydisrupt
- A year ago today we 'finished' the column prototype of Tie Your Laces ๐ We love this thing so damn much - 2020 wasn't ready for it ๐
00:00 - Trees of Life is a new physical installation game by us, @Robin_B and @LuciHolland ๐ฟ Inspired by Darwin's 'tree of life' sketch, and commissioned by the Edinburgh Science Festival, it's on show at @NtlMuseumsScot for a little while (and then, who knows ๐ฟ) ๐
00:00 - Thinking back to when we made videogame controller out of an 8 foot long piece of driftwood from Loch Ness. It was really lovely; we make nice things ๐
- Getting some solid TIE YOUR LACES testing in. We absolutely cannot wait to get people around this thing ๐๐
00:00 - Hey friends! 2020/2021 has been absolutely brutal for us. But hey, we're still here, and (where it's safe) we're ready to start doing fantastic, raucous, beautiful things again. Special projects; different events; alternative hardware - we're here for it. Hit us up! ๐
- Our first two alt.arcade cabs are finished, and we're pretty much in love โค [thread]
