Come mai hai scelto il binomio “videogioco-archeologia”?

Nel silenzio di una stanza, mentre il corpo e la mente riposano, la musica aleggia. Stefano Piras – Idili – videogioco Volteggiano note in canzoni e musiche del passato e riempiono lo spazio con parole e suoni mentre emergono ricordi, profumi, sensazioni, conducendo gli esseri in un luogo e un tempo distanti… La musica è magica, essa danza gioiosa, lega, collega e stringe persone in abbracci…

3D printed functional prototypes created for new kitchen countertop appliance

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. (Jan 16, 2019) - CCE, a leading provider of mechanical & electro-mechanical design and related engineering services, has adopted 3D printing to create fully-functional prototypes of their new in-house designed product Quidli. After crossing several challenging milestones during the design phase of this new product development (NPD) initiative, the 3D printed prototypes were created to demonstrate functional viability of the product before investing in tooling for manufacturing at scale.

Quidli is a kitchen countertop appliance to automatically produce Idlis, a breakfast staple popular in South India. The product was conceptualized, designed and engineered by CCE and currently has successful 3D printed functional prototypes created to test for Form, Fit and Function 

1. By testing for 'Form' the prototypes helped CCE’s product design engineers validate the shape, size, dimensions, and weight of each & every component of the product. 

2. The product 'Fit' was validated by assembling the 3D printed components to make sure they all worked together as designed.

3. By testing for 'Function', the CCE team was able to ensure that idlis produced by Quidli were of high quality and edible.

“Adopting 3D printing for functional prototyping helped our product designers get feedback in the early stages of NPD. This made product development far more efficient. Consequently, our engineers had more time to do what they love, perfect the product and delight our customers.” says Vinay Wagle, CCE’s V.P. of Sales and Marketing.

  Character Image: not yet

  Name: Idili

Age: 15

  Gender: Male

  Crew: Nope

  Occupation: Professional stowaway

  Weapon: ????  ?? ? ? ? ? ??????? He might scratch you with his feet or something

  Abilities/Skills: He can fly pretty well, as its the only thing he's really practiced doing. He can also scoot through small spaces at this time because he's pretty thin.

  Personality: Kind of a brat. He was sheltered growing up(as I think most Rito are) and doesn't know much about the other islands or people who live on them. He has a desire to learn about people, or at least interact with them. Doesn't really get the difference in social conventions when it comes to Rito and Hylians/humans and will sometimes overcompensate which makes him sound blunt and a bit like a jerk. (Another words he tries to be as informal as he sees people but sometimes it comes out really badly like 'hey bros what's the haps what's shaking how are you shits doing.')

  Strengths: Flight, Can carry small people/loads for short distances, Instinct allows him to always know the way back to Dragon Roost and he figures out where other places are in relation to Dragon Roost.

  Weaknesses: Culture shock, Light in weight, easily broken bones, no real battle skill, needs a great deal of food to replenish his energy.

  Which Alignment is your character?: Neutral

  Backstory/History: 

  He had a fair childhood, with both of his parents caring for him and plenty of friends his age. He wasn't spoiled so much as all of his needs were catered too and his parents didn't punish him too badly.

  Like the other Rito children he had to go to Valoo to gain a scale in order to have a pair of wings. When he faced whatever challenge Valoo asked of him(as translated by Komali's Grandmother) and gained his wings he had a sort of internal epiphany.

  He now had the power of flight, and the only thing keeping him on the island were his people/familiar relations. Being a young kid, he felt that if he shared his desire to leave the roost with his parents they 'wouldn't understand' so instead of asking permission he just left Dragon Roost, flying west.

  He ended up on Windfall, and became easily excitable about the people there. He soon found a snag in his plan-- without rupees(which I can't imagine were really needed on the Roost) he couldn't buy food, and people became awfully upset if you helped yourself to fruit from a fruit stand.

  Unable to take food on the island, he found himself searching ships for food. Without entirely meaning too he ended up as a stowaway when a ship he thought was docked and empty of crew sailed away with him still on it. He was found out relatively quickly, considering his voracious appetite. He was thrown overboard which led to him flying away like '??? thats it ok????'

  His favorite ship to eat food from without asking is the Redamancy, since it has so much and they haven't quite noticed that he's been eating food from their kitchen yet.
