A ‘JARBLED’ POSTMORTEM

Just last week Jason Camlot and Ian Arawjo shipped Jarbles for review on the Apple Store. It’s been a long time coming. Join us May 1st at the weekly 5a7 for a post-mortem presentation and celebration!
Pizza and beer will be on hand, and you’ll get to play the actual games of Jacks and Marbles (our inspiration for Jarbles)!
The presentation will be about designing a game around close-listening and audio reconstruction. Jason and Ian  will discuss the various phases of gameplay the game went through — what worked, what didn’t. Sound designers FX Dupas and Mathieu Lavoie will talk about designing sound puzzles. Ian will talk about developing their own 3D physics engine in iOS and why that’s probably a bad idea.WHERE? Hex Game Lab @ EV11.425, Concordia University
WHEN? May 1st, Thursday 5a7
