I've built some custom hardware so people living with dementia can build games controllers, which I'll be testing around Sheffield next month! Here's the breakdown: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkmH...

I am unfortunately abroad when this is on, but wanted to show my support for this.
In the current industrial landscape, games focused on communities and not platforms is desperately needed. Wishing the organisers well with the event!
Recently I've been designing games for people living locally with dementia, using familiar objects such as teapots, watering cans and walking sticks as the controllers to play with.
The Sheffield Star covered the story today with a front page mention, which I'm very grateful for!
For full clarity as well, David did the beautiful custom form factors for the magnet clamps, I soldered a clothes peg to the far end of the wire, slightly different levels of effort exerted : )
Hey folks! Weird request. I got featured in EDGE magazine issue #415 with MORSE, I had a friend send me a copy of it but it got lost in the mail. Does anyone have a copy they’d be willing to sell me? I’d really appreciate it ♥️
