Savage Moon

Savage Moon LogoOur first game for the PlayStation3 was released worldwide in the winter of 2008/9 and has been a huge critical and commercial success.  It was commissioned by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe who released the game on their PlayStation Network.

Savage Moon is a tower defence game in which the player must develop strategies for protecting an off-world mining facility from attack by Insectocytes; a carnivorous creature sent by the living planet or Imoon.  The insectocytes are its response, its auto-immune system defending itself against attack from a mining corporation intent on drilling the life-force from the animate asteroids they find.

Reviews of the game have been very positive, including "Savage Moon, from little known Bristol developer FluffyLogic, is about as good as it's going to get for just over six quid on PSN." (Videogamer.com, 8/10) and "Graphically, it's one of the better-looking titles on the PSN, but it's certainly not the best. The game's messy landscapes are pardoned by cool sci-fi towers and a range of weird, Starship Troopers-esque alien designs...Savage Moon is a quality Store title that deserves recognition." (Play Magazine, 86%).

The success of the title has led to additional commissioning of downloadable content from Sony and other, as yet secret, projects we could tell you about, but then we'd have to kill you... You can find out lots more about Savage Moon at our support page, which has links to videos, articles, Facebook groups, music and help guides.

plugincinema.com

plugincinema screenshot plugincinema.com  is a FluffyLogic project. It is a website dedicated to the exhibition, distribution and discussion of web films – that is films made for the Internet or for lower-bandwidth distribution. The site has been going for over six years and as a result of the experience and insight gained from it, has spawned the worlds first book dedicated to web films: Plug In & Turn On: A Guide to Internet Filmmaking (Published by Marion Boyars).

The site has a blog, updated by Ana and Tomas, with interesting links and issues that relate to digital video and the internet. It is also a forum that is being used by FluffyLogic and others to explore wider questions around film, interactivity and democratising media; current topics include Open Source media and an exploration of Diegetic Media, an approach to unifying media that exists on different platforms. plugincinema has its own mailing list. If you wish to be kept up-to-date with the developments of plugincinema, please sign up to the plugincinema mailing list.

Update:  The book is now available as a free PDF!

HP Mediascapes

Mediascapes FluffyLogic created the Mediascape Wizards website for Hewlett and Packard as well as a few games to get you started (see here for more information). The website we created was a user-generated-content system that allowed anyone to build their own mediascape.

A mediascape is an interactive experience with text, images, audio and video in which your iPAQ communicates with you about locations (via GPS). Mediascapes can be games, experiences, guides or tools - whatever the user wishes them to be! The site, along with an iPAQ and its GPS connection, will allow the easy and quick creation of a unique mediascape for sharing with family, friends, colleagues and the the rest of the WWW. The Mscape wizard that was created by FluffyLogic was part of the technology used by Create-a-scape who won the Education category of the News Statesman New Media Award in 2007.

Catbot

Catbot logo CatBot is an open source system created by FluffyLogic. The system is designed for easy distribution of large files using peer-to-peer technology (p2p). A peer-to-peer system (aka file trading system) is a method of exchanging data that combines the networked, distributive power of each individual computer to enable an interconnected mesh of network bandwidth.

This is part of a plan for creating a system to unlock the creative archive of the South West by enabling institutions (in the first instance) to free their media files for distribution. It is intended that this network consist of a number of interlocking elements with the common factors that they be easy to implement, easy to use and free. It would place the control of content distributed in the hands of individual people and institutions.

The system consists of a network of peer-to-peer sites, all using a common system. CatBot is currently a collaborative project between FluffyLogic, Knowledge West, South West Screen, BMEX, Bristol University, Bath Spa University, the University of Gloucestershire and the University of the West of England.

CatBot is also part of Tomas's PhD work. You can follow the progress on the Catblog. CatBot has its own mailing list. If you wish to be kept up-to-date with the developments of CatBot, please sign up to the mailing list.

Flux Mobile Media

Media Bus FluffyLogic designed both the interior and IT kit that went into the Flux Mobile bus for Mobile Media, in Swindon. Flux Mobile is an air-stream bus, which has been converted into a state-of-the-art mobile digital media studio. Staffed by professional digital artists, the vehicle moves between schools, youth groups and community settings. FluffyLogic were consultants to the project and managed and designed the space. The bus used for the project (purchased on eBay!) was one of only 2 sliver Airstream buses in existence. We oversaw the purchase of the vehicle and all the media equipment, the fitting right up to the launch.

Green Bristol

Green MapGreen MapGreen Bristol was an interactive website as part of a Green Mapping project. Green Maps are locally created maps that chart the natural and cultural environment. Using adaptable tools and a shared visual language of Green Map Icons to highlight green living resources, Green Maps cultivate citizen participation and community sustainability.

The technology for this project was created by FluffyLogic and is an Open Source project. This means that the technology that drive the systems you see here (known as the source code) is publicly owned – this means that anyone can take what has been done here and recycle, evolve and modify it to create their own Green Maps!

Mobile Bristol

WiFi MapThe Mobile Bristol was a programme investigating how mobile devices and pervasive information technology can be used to enhance the experience and interaction with the physical environment and with urban and public spaces. FluffyLogic provided consultation in interactive systems and computer games design to a project on the Mobile Bristol platform. This project was to use the GPS and wifi capabilities of the system and to envision how these might be used to create game-style content.

A Hartcliffe Story

Hartcliffe SchoolWorking with Hartcliffe Community School in south Bristol, FluffyLogic, the staff and young people together created ‘A Hartcliffe Story’, a hypermedia project. Hypermedia projects are a great method of involving a large number of people with diverse skills and ability ranges to work together on a creative project. The final story was realized as a website and DVD. At Hartcliffe Community School we used video, images, digital photography, writing and web-design skills to unfold a strange and chaotic tale…
