Oh hi there, didn’t see you come in. Welcome to my extremely improvised home woodworking studio.

What’s this I’m building? It’s the arcade of tomorrow! I call it the “Instant Arcade - just add venue!”. It is inspired by the Babycade which was made by my dear friends at Glitchnap. But I want to make Automat’s version a bit more versatile. 

The idea is to have a complete indie arcade kit that you can easily transport on a tram or possibly in large car I guess. It must contain everything you might need to set up an indie arcade. This list includes: arcade cabinets (probably small ones), a f*ck-ton of controllers, wired power (with a long-ass cable), speakers, projector, lights, soap bubble machine? and whatever we find that’s funny and interesting! Oh and it should also look very cool and interesting! We’ll get to that later.

The materials used to build the machine so far are our old babystroller, a wooden table-like board and a chopped up drawing board for kids that I found in our trash room. #trashgames amirite? See you next time players, lovers and friends!

XOXO Kjell
