3d Printer

 Projects have definitely slowed down as I was moved to a team that has a bit too much on its plate (as well as being asked to be a temporary Product owner for the team) anyway I'll stop crying because its fun either way.

I got my old 3d printer back up and running (replaced the hot-end with e3dv6, and used 3d printed parts to make the conversion). I printed a bunch of toys for my son, his friends, and for his birthday, I printed a customized articulated octopus for every kid in his class (with their name on the back)

Unfortunately it turns out the teachers just randomly gave out the octopi to kids, so the personalization was a bit lost lol... oh well, next time....

Hacking class

 I gave another hacking class to a group of high schoolers that I have taught previously.

Sing Hero

 A game I made for a friends daughter. She asked for a game where you play as Elsa and sing let it go. Its a mix of "guitar hero" and pong. (the more notes you miss, the lower in volume the vocal track goes. 

The notes are being read in realtime from a midi file that has just the melody, so their height and positioning is "mostly" correct (its hard to sync midi and analog when they weren't made by the same person lol)

Hero Side Runner

 A simple infinite side scroller (Similar to the TweetyRunner) But made for my son who loves metal, and super heros. 

You can pick between a bunch of his favorites, and the super heros all have the same two powers: Laser and fire blast.

Tweety Runner

 A game I made for my friends daughter, who really loves a show called "ruff ruff tweet and dave".

I found a mobile game the show made, downloaded a copy, extracted the binaries, ripped the assets, and converted to unreal. 

The game is a simple infinite side scroller, once you get 100 banana's Dave shows up and tells you he loves bananas.

Nessy Finger

 A game I made for a friends daughter who wanted to "hunt" the lock ness monster. 

The two songs in the background are her two favorites. Nessy randomly appears and you have to "press" on it to win. If you go too long and can't find nessy, a large light/beacon will show up to help you.

Jacks Hunt

Another game I made for a friends son.

He wanted a game where you could hunt in a forest. I made the deer explode into glitter to make it less violent/silly? Not sure if thats a good idea or not lol... 

I also added some of his favorite pokemon as secrets to find in the level as he wanders around.
