Babycastles – Cyborg Arcade Workshop

A proper indie games arcade like Babycastles in Rotterdam, The Netherlands?
It looks like it is going to happen!
The brilliant WORM organization brings the famous Babycastles crew to Rotterdam and have them do a workshop for creating game arcade cabinets.

From the event post:

Join Kunal Gupta (Babycasltes), Syed Salahuddin (Babycastles), Thu Tran (Food Party / Girl Talk), Neil Fridd (Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt) and give birth to a litter of cyborg arcade cabinets. We will combine independent games from local Dutch and French game developers, large stuffed animals, chef knives, colorful duct tape, assorted blinking electronics, and the virus-writing windows scripting software “AutoHotkey”, and we will emerge with a new independent video games arcade in Rotterdam.

This hands-on lesson hopes to teach and encourage techiques that help transform a pile of material, electronics, and games into a social machine that is prepared for the unforeseen ways creative people might enjoy video games.

Joining the workshop also gives you free entrance to an afterparty featuring performances by Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt and a DJ-set by Marcus McBride, among others, and of course it makes you one of the first contributors to this new initiative for creative coding and independent videogame development in the city of Rotterdam!
