Nightgames was an interactive dance party game I made with Phoenix Perry. With a group of collaborators working on music, sound engineering, and costuming, led by Phoenix's technological prowess and musical talent combined with my art direction and physical performance to create a lived in gaming experience. Plus, I got to dress up like a mop monster.
From creating physical environments to surround-sound acoustics, to physically keeping up with the kiddos, dancing around as a muppet monster offered a sense of surprise and wonder to a game that fostered connection and community in all who stumbled upon it.
Aside from making the game's animated characters tied to each Playstation Move controller, I also created the posters and concept for the monster costume.
Collaborators included Margaret Schedel, Max Perenchio, Luke DuBois, Sasha Richter, with Wolfgang Gil, Rebecca Fiebrink, and David Last.
