To Infinity and Beyond: HKD visits Hong Kong.




Wish we could say that we are heading off to play (with a giant inflatable rubber duck!) but the team is delivering the Design Stage of the Hong Kong Space Museum.
We have been hard at work designing inter-galactic surf boards and dark matter tunnels, now its time to go through the 150+ exhibits with the client team in detail.

No Summer Games for GEEK




We were planning on having some new GEEK fun and games on the beach, but sadly we have failed to find the funding, so its stick to buckets and spades for this year.
It's not all bad news, this means we can concentrate even more on GEEK 2014 and maybe we can have a GEEK on the Beach 1st Friday event in the summer.
Its been a busy time since GEEK. We have developed Mini GEEK which includes the wonderful Fruitcade and Punch the Custard. We hope we have a booking in Singapore.... watch this space.
Some Indie Developers who came to GEEK2013 have been working hard;
Utopian World of Sandwiches showcased their game 'Chompy Chomp Chomp' which was available on Xbox arcade, but you can now download it to your PC.
Also Fist of Awesome, another game showcased is hopefully due for release within the next couple of months.

Invitation to Root Experience's 'The Game Project'


You may of heard or even met Root Experience at GEEK 2013, well now they starting a Kickstarter campaign for their new project - ' The Game Project'

This is an invitation to the special preview evening on the 10th May. Join in on the fun for free at Sticky Mike's Frog Bar 9-12 Middle St Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1AL after 6pm. 

More about the event:

"You are invited to a special preview evening in celebration of The Game Project – an exciting project that will bring together digital gaming and interactive theatre to create a unique adventure to which everyone is invited to ‘play’.

This Kickstarter campaign launch will give you the chance to see the premiere screening of our video, have a spot of bubbly with us to toast the live launch of the campaign online and generally mingle and find out a little more about the upcoming opportunities to play 'The Game' as we continue developing it....there may also be a little light entertainment/live music.

We have been developing the piece through workshops at Lighthouse Arts while working towards our forthcoming residency with Blast Theory. A prototype of the final show will be shown at Brighton Digital Festival in September with the aim of touring it across the UK in 2014.

The Game Project will be tailored to each city that the show visits and audiences will see once familiar sites transformed in front of their eyes, as the city becomes a playing space for an important mission with clues and plots popping up via actors, mobile technology and other audience members.

The project so far has been funded by Arts Council England and we've been fortunate enough to have some hugely encouraging support from organisations such as Lighthouse to make the work possible, but all this will be complimented with our Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign and your support is invaluable...we'd love to share this very special evening with you.

Hope to see you there!
