v0.2

We're at something like v0.9 and we've got five of them. Halfway there.

Tower of power

A nice detail 👀

Arduinos for the microswitches (Esc key, power / sleep button) and LED control

Project done. Finished the final pieces and did install. Here's a bunch being tested all at once.

And here they are in their final destination: Drexel University's Pearlstein Gallery, for an exhibit titled Escape > Control > Play (pic featuring @najayg.bsky.social )

Show opens next week, come enjoy UFO 50 on an LX and experience the rest of the show (including Multibowl by Bennett Foddy and AP Thompson, which you can't really play outside of an event). There's an incredible exhibit on LGBTQ games from the Rainbow Arcade's Adrienne Shaw and Drexel's Ari Gass

Will share more next week, but if this is your shit and you're nearby, it's worth making the time. Gaming can be such a solitary pursuit; it's nice to see it elevated in a communal space usually reserved for high culture.

I wish! Do you know what your plans are for the STLs?

I think the plan is "I'll send a file to Josh Tsui" or so rumor has it...

Gonna release full STLs with a BOM and assembly instructions. Would love additions! We did a ton of work remixing an earlier model, and took it as far as we could with our timeline. It's an A, but could be an A+ with a little more time. But deadlines are deadlines!!
