1. Hologram Will

   "Hologram Will" is an interactive science fiction game. Businessman and millionaire David Mann has passed away, but before his death he recorded a hologram that acts as his will and testament. The hologram has been given to one of his heirs who has become the will's executor. The player can choose between three different heirs who each has their own unique message recorded for them. The inheritance consists of several rare and valuable items collected by Mann, in addition to company shares. As the executor, the player can also increase their inheritance by claiming the other heir's shares. However, legal and other fees will be incurred during this process and can exceed the net benefits of the will, making this a costly affair.

2. Kulaktan kulağa, Chinese whispers, or Arabic telephone

   “I’m on the hard drive. When the gift came. Both disk and memory disappear”. Kulaktan kulağa, Chinese whispers, or Arabic telephone reveals mis(machine)translated stories of found images through tangible interaction. The installation uses what is (at first glance) just a box of old photographs to examine the western-centric lens of the internet by humanising machine translation errors. The artist collected old photographs from London’s flea markets, and wrote short stories for each photograph in her non-native English. Using an online machine translation tool, she machine-translated the stories into her native Turkish, and into other ‘foreign-looking’ languages such as Chinese and Arabic. The garbled outcome then is machine-translated back to English, carrying its inaccurate interpretation alongside. The stories and photographs are integrated into an interactive installation that invites readers to reveal mistranslated stories through tangible interaction. The installation invites spectators to pick a photograph from an old box and explore its interpretation.

3. Writing for Vast Interactive Spaces

   In November 2018, Studio Tender Claws launched Tendar, the first long-form, augmented reality game to merge AR technology with human sentiment analysis. Gameplay centers around an artificially-intelligent pet fish that responds to the player’s actions, emotions, and physical surroundings via a combination of generative and hand-scripted dialog. The fish recognizes over 100 user emotions and 200 physical objects as it navigates eight distinct developmental stages. As a small independent game studio, our challenge was to generate and trigger engaging dialog for the vast combinatoric writing surface that the game presented, all while dynamically adjusting tone, affect, and content according to player actions and the fish’s emotional state.

4. Culprit

   Culprit is a choose-your-own adventure screen-based game created using the interactive documentary software Klynt and inspired by the resurgence of interest in a genre that e-lit has seen as unsophisticated but is currently enjoying an uptake in popularity as interactivity goes mainstream both on handheld devices and livingroom televisions. A multi-modal murder mystery with five storypaths that intersect to provide for many more distinct readings, Culprit is set in a contemporary, urban North American city and anyone could be the murderer.
