Post-Apocalyptic Fairytale 'The Reverie' Asks "Are We Alone At The End Of The World?"

'The Reverie' has been receiving a great amount of attention over the past 3 days on Kickstarter, moving along nicely towards its funding goal and being selected as a "Staff Pick." This short film set in the wake of an unnamed catastrophe has shown our appetite for independent projects from talented people, refusing to let the film industry fall into the ironically dystopian plains of big budget cinema pleasers.

#NRMPresents 'TouchKeys.' Multi-Touch Gestures For Your Piano

For the past few centuries, the piano has been commonplace in music.  During this same period of time, the instrument hasn't really evolved either.  Well that is until now, as the 'Touch Keys' DIY sensor kit brings touch sensitivity to the surface of piano keys, similar to the screen of a smartphone or tablet.

#NRMPresents 'Pocket Spacecraft.' Send Your Own Spacecraft To The Moon

We've become closer to space than we could ever imagine recently.  Through the likes of SpaceX and Virgin Galactic, it's fair to say the idea of taking the kids on a holiday excursion to deep space is becoming less far-fetched as the years pass by.  However a recently launched Kickstarter, called Pocket Spacecraft, project doesn't hope to get you into "space tourism," rather give all backers their own "personalised spacecraft" to send into orbit.

#NRMPresents 'The Realm.' An Imaginative Evolution Of The Point & Click

The Realm is an upcoming point-and-click adventure game currently making the rounds on Kickstarter. The game takes place on an Earth in the far future, presumably after an apocolyptic event, in which remnants of cities and civilisations we recognise today have grown in harmony with nature - trees, plantlife, and the like. The game follows the journey of a young girl, Serena, and her giant golem friend, Toru throughout the land, all rendered lovingly in a hand-drawn artwork style, layered to create 3D environments.

#NRMPresents Max Weber - Interview With A Glitch Artist

 

Max Weber was born near Stuttgart, Germany in 1990. After an intership at a local design agency he became interested in the underlying structures that make up a brand, logo or concept. Combining his passion for music and sound with his design experience, he started studying audio design.
Although he is curious about a multitude of subjects, Max's primary interest is in the procedures at work behind art forms. Aside from Databending, Max also produces electronic music, predominantly influenced by Techno. He recently allowed me to interview him, after I discovered his work through Reddit.

#NRMPresents 'Battle Worlds: Kronos.' Kickstarter Campaign Launched For Unfinished Fan Favourite

Six years ago, KING Art Studios made a prototype of turn-based strategy game Battle Worlds: Kronos, which underwent community testing and gained popularity with the European strategy community.  However, no publisher came forward to back the project, and as the developers moved onto new games, this highly regarded title was to remain unfinished.

As you could probably tell with this substantial amount of build-up, that is until now.
