Project: Code Glitches, Get Money (tentative name)

This on-rails floater is a prototype I made for my upcoming thesis. It’s part of a larger performance piece where the game is projected onto the wall. My DJ plays through it, sending low-poly gold man (who is supposed to represent me) through the air collecting money. While this is happening, I rap about making games for money and the various things I would do with the cash . There’s more to it than that, but that’s all I can share for now!

Throw your hands in the air, and wave 'em like you just don't care. It'll put digital paint on the wall! I made this using Processing and LEAP Motion. It's hard to draw things precisely, but it feels good to make a mess. No cleanup required!

I made a game! It's more of a sitting simulator than a walking sim. 1 minute of gameplay, 2 endings. 

The title and handwritten code are vague references to the Rae Sremmurd song "No Type" (an instrumental version plays in the background). At least that's how the project started. It ended up becoming an allegory for the growth of my game dev practice. I felt constricted before. I unintentionally wrote stuff that didn't work (glitches). Then I got better, and now I write glitches that do work on purpose. Or something like that. Hope you enjoy it!

Glitch City Magazine 02. We made a second issue! I put this one together last Autumn to pass out during IndieCade 2014. 

A bunch of our Glitch City indie developers offered little nuggets of wisdom on their practice. Sam Roberts did a long story about a Dungeons and Dragons campaign that some lovely adventurers played at the space. We've got sketches, the latest bathroom chalk art, and more. 

Glitch City Magazine 01. With this issue, we decided to do an issue whenever there was a festival or event in LA that brought game industry friends into the city (typically E3 and IndieCade).

I had a lot of fun making this zine and just putting in a bunch of things that I thought were funny. I really wanted to pay homage to and completely mess with the format of old video game magazines.
