There's just two weeks to go until Strandfall's first run! Here's how we've divided our real-world park into eight sectors, designed the onboarding, tilted into weird sci-fi, cast our players, and what we're thinking about expansions...

More on Strandfall, the solarpunk orienteering larp I'm making with @x13n.com! Some fun new photos and UI mockups in here, plus I'm trying out a new thing with the "solarpunk" angle, which sounds better and more descriptive than "low tech" or "retro-tech".

Learn about the fictional (but fully functional) "McNair-Feldman Device" at the heart of Strandfall's technical design! @x13n.com details the components and in-larp capabilities of our long-range, low powered devices packed with an ePaper display, GPS, accelerometer, magnetometer, and more!

Big news: I'm making Strandfall, an highly physical outdoor larp using custom spatial computers! This is the first project of Experimental Social Scene, a new collective founded by me and @x13n.com, and we're delighted to be supported by @immersiveartsuk.bsky.social funding.

I’m prototyping a location-based multiplayer orienteering game with my friend Alex Macmillan, and today was our first field test of the custom hardware he’s built! Our units contain long range (LoRa) radios, GPS, IMUs, with a ePaper displays. The idea is that they can work anywhere.
