Planck v.0, the game prototype that a group of talented people and I have been working on over the past several months, has just been submitted to the 2010 Independent Games Festival. A slightly higher (but not high enough) resolution video is available directly on Vimeo.

Looks and sounds great! Innovative idea to link music and game play—hope the judges agree.

Thank you for the wishes!
@Player1: Those games, plus a few others, were a great inspiration to us. I do think we have been able to go a bit farther in terms of the sound's dynamic qualities; over the next few weeks I'll be writing up some detailed explanations of how Planck v.0 does that on the Shadegrown site.
