Game in the City Invitation

We will be making an appearance at Game in the City in Amersfoort with the Spaceship this thursday and friday (24th & 25th of November). We'll be near the HKU stand with some other projects.  Hopefully we'll see you there. If you need help finding your way, or want anymore information about the event just go here: http://www.gameinthecity.nl/2011/

THINK, DESIGN, PLAY

This year a game conference is being had at our school, with tons of interesting speakers and whatnot. Alongside them will be a couple of installations including our very own. Check out Think Design Play and see what you're missing.

Further more, we were asked for a description of our project and I wrote this little piece for it:

JAVA RHINO Presents

PROJECT NOVA

A Spaceship Cockpit Simulation Installation.

Do you like buttons, switches or knobs? Have you ever wondered what it’s like to drift around in space with nothing between you and the infinite emptiness other than a few pieces of metal? Or do you just want to sit back and listen to tunes presented by your favorite disc jockey from 500 lightyears away? Please come out and take the GraveDigger 2000 for a spin around the nearest asteroid belt. Just make sure to watch out for any threats and remember all the help files are provided in a physical copy for your perusal at any time, whether life support systems are running or not. Have fun and good luck!

This limited time offer is made possible to you through JAVA RHINO: Providing for your needs in spaceship operating systems throughout the whole of the Archibald Galaxy.
