Made in Robin

Blotsworn’s key art: a swordsman in a red scarf on a rock, under a gold moon and a serpent of ink rising out of the waves.

Kettle Cove Post: a carrier in a yellow coat cycling the harbour lane past a red-roofed cottage, boats and a lighthouse beyond, in watercolour.

Where it’s made.

Home: what you are making today, what every app made lately, your projects, and what waits for you.

Robin’s Home, the whole window: the question What are we making today? over the composer, the apps as small drawn cards, Lately, from every app (Blotsworn’s key art, a night market picture, Kettle Cove, a night market theme and the thimble hero), Your projects as cards with their palettes and rounds, and Waiting for you: the Art director asking which night market should be the cover, a level designer asking how much the spool bridge should sway, the director saying round 1 is ready. Down the side Home, At work, the Library and Discover, and the projects.

An app for every craft.

Each with only the tools its craft needs, beside the chat.

Each opens on what it made.

  • Blotsworn on the Games bench: its stages from pitch to ship, the key art on its mat, the title, One scarf against the ink, Play and Run, and its look in four colours.

    Games A game you can play, from one line.

  • Kettle Cove Post’s cut on the Film bench: Play at 0:02 of 0:23, its takes, and the cut in lanes for the picture, the narration, the harbour theme, the effects and the words.

    Film From a brief to a cut, with narration and music.

  • A night market picture on the Pictures bench: a cook handing over a bowl in the steam, its brush, and Cut out, New background, Enhanced and Bigger under it.

    Pictures Every version, one press away.

  • The night market theme on the Music bench, 24 seconds at 120 BPM, playing through its Drop, and its arrangement of four loops.

    Sound and Music Heard the moment it is made.

  • Thimble & Clay’s hero on the 3D bench: a clay figure in a silver thimble hat with button eyes, its 24 bones drawn over it.

    3D A model from a picture, rigged and given a walk.

  • Lowtide Station’s website on the Pages bench: its title over the seabed, a note asking for the title to come down a little, and the dive list’s button.

    Pages A game’s website, with your notes on it.

And Apps for the web, iPhone and Android, Ads in every shape the networks take, Posts in 9:16, and Code.

Blotsworn’s helpers on the agents map: the director, the lead, planning round 2; the art director inking the crane king, the audio director with the slash done and the theme next, the level designer waiting for the art; and the reviewers, the critic panel and the player, who finished round 1.

Each chat has its helpers.

A director leads it; an art director, a level designer and a critic do their parts. When it is your call, they ask.

The Art director, on Dumpling Row: I made four night markets. Which one is the cover? Three of them under the question: The cook, The bowl, The rain.
