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

Cadence on Steam Relax. Solve Problems. Make Music. Feel Nourished. Beautifully simple, devilishly clever - Cadence is the experimental sandbox game that uses problem-solving to create music.

Cadence is a minimalist zen game about solving circuits to generate music.

To find out what that means, there's a brand new Steam demo available as part of the #CerebralPuzzleShowcase by @puzzleshowcase.bsky.social!

I've seen Marina give professional workshops to massive game studios about Emotional Game Design before, this is an incredible opportunity if you're looking to broaden your game design repertoire!
