John Kuiphoff, Warren Buckleitner, and Dr. Teresa Nakra, the three IMM professors who will be leading the charge on the Spring 2021 thesis classes, started a weekly podcast. You can watch it here.

Miles, Amy, and Jonathan made voxel models of different parts of TCNJ’s campus in a free program called MagicaVoxel. Jonathan recreated the front of the biology building, Miles rebuilt the Roscoe statue outside of the AIMM building, and Amy mocked up everyone’s favorite, Roscoe’s Farm near Townhouses North. Trust me, you’ve seen it.   Miles […]

Meaghanne, Dylan, and Eli made an animated music video for a song they wrote called “Constellations”. Eli digitally painted all of the backgrounds, Dylan animated all of the characters, and Meaghanne composed the entire song. Rock out to it here!…ok maybe not that cause it’s not a rock song but you’ll still enjoy it

Nina, Anthony, and Mahjustice made Basilisks for Babies, an interactive web tool for first-time Dungeons & Dragons players and dungeon masters. It provides automated pre-made characters, events, locations, items, and more to help lay foundation for a one-shot or even a campaign. Hop into the world of B&B here!

Thendral, Ben, and Vincent made a Twine game about an adventurer who chases pirates in an effort to reclaim a magical pendant. The game is playable here.

Dylan and Vincent made a music visualizer called “Ice and Fire”. The first part of the song is mellower, like “ice”, and the second half is more intense, like “fire”. Vincent picked out the audio and edited the video, Dylan drew those sick dragons and I think more but honestly it’s midnight and I’m tired.

After some behind-the-scenes shake-ups, IMMovation 2 found itself with a group of 3 in Kyla, Amy, and Eli. They immediately made the connection to the phrase “two’s company, three’s a crowd” and made it their central theme. They connected that phrase to the game Among Us, with the idea of two crewmates and one imposter. […]

Ben and Mistee…uh…started a band. Mistee had recorded some instrumentals with a 2-string bass (their interpretation of the “2” theme) and Ben started to add more instrumentation and vocals to flesh them out more. Their band is Belted Kingfisher and this is their first song.

Miles and Rebecca made a shield design based on figures from Welsh mythology. (editor’s note: I do not remember their names. Expect a correction from Miles when he sees this and gets frustrated with me.) Their interpretation of the “2” theme was in the difference of their art styles.

Thendral and Ana made a text game in Twine. Their interpretation of the “2” theme was clones, and when pondering who would utilize clones, they came up with clones, so it’s an interactive story about clones and aliens.   Game here: Two_of_Us1

Meaghanne Bride and Haley Wright made sound collages based on piano playing and two people narrating the poem “Two Voices In A Cave”. Meaghanne and Haley used many of the same clips but in different ways. They asked their friends to record the voiceovers from the poem. The two people reading the poem was their […]

Faith Christian & Priyanka Pai We wrote a script about toxic relationships and friendships. “The Reality of Romance” is a story about harmful tropes that are viewed as romantic in the media, however, these main characters understand that these things are unacceptable and stand up for themselves against the toxic people they come across.   […]

Robin Friedman & JM Tameta For this project we started an interactive satirical story about the 2020 AP exams. Mostly it was JM, but if we continue the project, the pair plans to put it together in Twine since Robin has a semester of experience with it.

Thendral Prabu & Ethan Pearl We worked on a children’s book-style animation with a goofy alien, Gob, who gets sidetracked chasing a ‘cookie’ across the galaxy. Some early character sketches:

Eli Gemeinhardt & Nelly Sanchez We decided to create a pro designs on Animal Crossing. We both decided that the theme would be based off checkerboard patterns. Our designs vary but each have unique colors and patterns. We also uploaded them so that other’s could save the designs in case they wanted to wear them. […]

Dylan Jonas & Mahjustice Murphy   We animated a small chase sequence. There would have been two characters, a human character and a monster creature. Dylan worked on the monster design/animation and Jus worked on the human designs. We took several photos of around our house to find a color palette that was used for […]

Meaghanne McBride & Ben Spizuco   We each made a collage-style sampling track using various recordings. We used audio from the movie “Emperor Tomato Ketchup,” a clip of a shamisen player  Meaghanne encountered in Japan, Meaghanne’s koto playing “Sakura Sakura”, Ben’s improving on guitar, and others! In coming up with this project, we discussed ideas […]

Mistee Branchek & Dustin Marino   We worked on a simulation where the Pokémon Eevee walks around. Dustin did the Eevee model and environment and Mistee did the music and made Eevee move.

Miles Cumiskey & Nina Navazio For our project Nina and I created a small Minecraft adventure map themed around a failing 1950’s-ish town. In addition to doing the building, the map contains puzzles and secret lore for players to uncover as they explore and discover the curse of Dunwich.
