Be Frankenstein – Make Your Own Monster

katharina — Sun, 11 Aug 2019 12:00:23 +0000

Create your own monster! In this workshop, participants tinker and build their fantasy-monsters from everyday life items and let them come to live as Makey Makey controllers.

It’s not only about being monstrous, but creating a controller that actually works. Who manages to do both and makes the best monster of all times? The competition is on and it will show, who deserves to be the real Dr. Frankenstein.

This Workshop will be in German.

Dissecting Sea of Solitude: Monster Design Based on Human Emotions

Christiane — Tue, 13 Aug 2019 06:36:02 +0000

Sea of Solitude is a third-person adventure game and was released on July 5th 2019. It is a game about struggling with your inner monsters and overcoming your loneliness. As a very personal project of Jo-Mei Games’ creative director Cornelia Geppert it is tackling issues of mental health.

The game follows the premise “when humans get too lonely – they turn into monsters.” This is what happened to Kay, a young woman awaking in a stormy ocean. She embarks on a journey to find out what happened to her, encountering other monsters, who – like her – suffer from loneliness.

Sea of Solitude is often complimented for its art-style as well as their monster designs. The reasons why so many things with the designs of its world and characters seem right is that there is meaning and intent behind everything.

The impulse is a look beyond the explicit narrative and a presentation of Jo-Mei’s implicit design decisions.

The impulse will be held in English.
