PHASE 1 - 2D PROTOTYPE:
I
started out with a quick 2D software prototype and trying out various
head gear designs. Special thanks to Jeff Arbukle and Jessica Hutchins
for fabrication help. I first demo'd the game at the Solano Canyon
Art Party in LA organized by Karen Lofgren. a few months later Ed
Halter asked me to show the prototype at the Cinematexas Festival in Austin.
