Bionic Bliss and the birth of Team Lazerbeam.


 
Started a new band.

We're a game band. A self contained rock and roll unit, but where a music band puts out songs, we'll put out games. Short, fast, loud games. 

Team Lazerbeam are:

Jason Sutherland : Tunes and Sound

Richard Pieterse : Code and Feel

Moi : Art and Words



Jay, Rich and I linked up as Team Lazerbeam to jam out a game over Ludum Dare.

We made a cyberpunk service game. You work in the phone support department of a cybernetics company. We called it Bionic Bliss.
 



Had so much fun jamming on this thing.


Rich and I jammed through the final night, wrapped up just before dawn, posed with some pets. Celebrated this moment.
Walking down the road from the Free Lives house, seeing the sunrise lighting up the sky, it was one of the best moments of my life. The joy of having started this band, at having made our first game together, it felt like the electrical, magical feeling I get from the best shows.

And the game turned pretty cool!

 Ultimately stoked for more Team Lazerbeam jams in the future!
