Gameplay (1/2) – for intuitive 1 hand controls, we added a hidden virtual joystick to move the character, activated by touching anywhere. the touch drags its joystick base with it, something that's super intuitive on touch.

(explainer video: white is the joystick base, blue the touch position)

I was lucky enough to watch Daft Punk perform from their pyramid in 2007. On Saturday as a family we watched our child in the scheduled/live event in Fortnite. Honestly it was amazing and one of the best things that platform has done. Video from someone else: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvhd...
