"Plantschen Serif" by David

I made a font that can "go underwater". It was my first time making a font, specifically a variable font, which allows the font to morph using a slider.

This was a fun project, although I wouldn't recommend actually using the font lol. There is alot of characters missing and the kerning is all wrong. I used fontra.xyz - it's opensource and really nice to work with!

"Poolin' Around" by Paul

A long time ago, I made a game called Wacky Desert Adventure just to learn Godot. It was not a game I was particularly proud of, I honestly just made it to prototype some mechanics I thought I'd want to use in future projects, such as dialogue and cutscenes. I never really intended to show it to anyone other than a few friends, but a lot of people seemed to enjoy it after i reluctantly made it public and showed it off at our exhibition earlier this year. People really REALLY wanted a sequel to it. I could not go a day without someone asking me where Wacky Desert Adventure 2 was.

Well, here it is! I thought to myself, if people really want a sequel, and I'm seriously going to do it, then I'll have to do it properly, and I think Poolin' Around definitely achieves that. It follows the same general concept of the first game, but with a more unique (and easy to make assets with) artstyle and more wacky minigames.

After the art week ended, I also released one last update that fixed some bugs, made the game a little less brutally difficult and added more characters, an extra minigame, and a slightly less abrupt ending.

I hope everyone enjoyed this final and conclusive chapter in the story of Lucky and Rover : )

"THE ANATOMY OF A DROWNING" by Ephraim

THE ANATOMY OF A DROWNING is an unfinished experimental stage play script, drawing inspiration from The Anatomy of Desire, a short story by John L’Heureux & 4.48 Psychosis by Sarah Kane.

The story is about a person not able to leave the stage, forced to play a role & remember & relive the same events & dialogue again & again & again & again. The reader becomes part of the audience, watching the events unfold.

"The view from outside the pool and the view from inside" by Emilia

This text was inspired by a close childhood friendship that at some point ended. While writing I made the scary realization that I don't remember too much about my friend, most of my memory lost to time and that I was instead writing a story about this remembered version, not the real him. I became obsessed with that idea; Existence through the eyes of a half-remembered ghost. That's why the second half takes his perspective and shows us how cruel remembering can be. To stack all of these emotions on someone who didn't choose to be conjured up. I realize the text can be hard to follow but in the short time and amid this obsession I couldn't figure out how to express myself better.

The webtoon format was just a neat way to visualize this text but I'm pretty proud of the final look ::))

our work was a little play with the word dating pool, what refers to the total group of available, single people in your area who match your basic preferences. the tiles are built out of representations of the hinge dating scene.
