Generative art application – project screenshots

Since being inspired by Matt’s generative art session at Flashbrighton a while back,  I’ve been occasionally working on a personal project. It’s a Flex application where you can generate interesting abstract images and animations. It’s tricky to describe exactly what it is and what it does, so you can see for yourselves when I release it.

It was initially a simple idea of mine to see what something looked like when manipulated in a certain way. After playing around with it for a while and adding more functionality, I began finding myself entranced by the things I/it was accidentally creating. When I’ve added a bit more functionality I’ll release it and see if anyone else finds it as intriguing as I do :)

If you’re interested in helping me alpha-test this, then let me know.

[Edit: By the way, it's using Papervision]

Here’s some screenshots:

Paper Moon – another great Unity game by Blurst

Paper Moon

Blurst have released another great Unity game called ‘Paper Moon’. It’s a 2D platformer with a slight 3D twist to the gameplay: Pressing Space ‘pops’ bits of the scenery either in front or behind the plane of the character. If you or an enemy is in the way, then you die. It creates some interesting puzzles. 

I haven’t tried it, but apparently you can plug in a (wired) 360 controller. Nice touch.
