Fabulous Beasts is a radical and fun new concept in games. A cooperative game for one to four players, who take turns to add animal, event and miracle pieces onto a balancing tower. Every piece added to the tower magically alters the ecosystem in the connected digital world. The aim is to make the most fabulous world possible before the tower collapses.

Fabulous Beasts is brought to you by Sensible Object, a team of game designers, artists and engineers who originally gave birth to the game right here at Watershed with support from REACT. This Friday, founder Alex Fleetwood joins us to talk about the journey from rapid prototype development during REACT’s Play Sandbox, through to the launch of a Kickstarter campaign on 26 January.

There will be opportunities to play Fabulous Beasts in Watershed’s Café/Bar over the coming weeks.

This Lunchtime Talk is part of Open Studio Friday, which takes place at the Studio every week.

Do you want to find out what is going on at the Pervasive Media Studio? Are you interested in meeting our residents, talking about a specific project or curious about pervasive media? Why not pack a sandwich and join us for one of our Lunchtime Talks and Open Studio Friday.

Lunchtime Talks are informal presentations by Studio residents and associates. They normally take place at 1pm on Friday, are free and open to everybody who’s interested in what we do.

After the Talk, we also invite you to stay with us for the afternoon to continue the conversation or work on your own projects. We provide chairs, tables, wireless and a great space. You bring what you need to work with (laptop/mobile). Our open afternoons close at 5pm.

Let us know if you’d like a tour of the space and we'll be happy to show you around just before the talk. Send an email to admin@pmstudio.co.uk to book your place on a tour.
