Here’s a little video that our friend from Clackamas Community College quickly put together from last night.

Thanks to all who sponsored the event, the great companies who shared their projects with the attendees, and of course all those who attended the event.  I think it was a great way to celebrate 2013 and an even better way to set the tone for a bigger and better 2014 for all!

Phrenic Invites You to “Go Clone Yourself”

 

Phrenic–an iOS thriller you watch, read, and play–invites anyone to create a character by uploading a video or writing a very short story from the perspective of a human clone. Videos and stories can be submitted from the Phrenic app itself or on Phrenic’s page on Theatrics. A storyline about liberated clones was designed specifically as a framework for user generated content. Disguises (or Halloween costumes) are encouraged to protect the identity of other clones.

Stories and videos will be published in the Phrenic app and online (one user-submitted story is already live in the app).
