Show HN: I am bored of pixel art so I'm making my video game with wool.

The concept reminds me of Platypus, a side scroller from olden days.<p>The author all the elements from modeling clay, aka plasticine, but lost most of his clay in an apartment fire and ended up mushing all the colors together in one ugly grey blob to make enough to make one model at a time, photograph it, and the color it in software.<p>As time consuming as that sounds, I'm sure my children and I spent more time enjoying it.<p>Some pictures: <a href="http://www.officialplatypusgame.co.uk/media.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.officialplatypusgame.co.uk/media.asp</a><p>The story of the fire: <a href="http://www.squashysoftware.com/makingplatypus2.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.squashysoftware.com/makingplatypus2.php</a>

Reminds me a lot of the ripped-paper style of And Yet It Moves. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QLp7q18iZk" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QLp7q18iZk</a>

I love this.<p>Needlefelting is a loooong time consuming process but you get some amazing results. Folks should check out woolbuddy.com for inspiration.

The aesthetics are bloody awesome! I don't know what to make of the gameplay from the video but the vibe is spot on. You should collect email addresses somewhere, I'd love to hear when it's ready.

Reminds me a bit of the plasticene game, Creachi. Same musical feel too.<p><a href="http://dougburnett.com/game/creachi/" rel="nofollow">http://dougburnett.com/game/creachi/</a>

Reminds me of LittleBigPlanet.

Fwiw: I am on an android and can't get it to play, which is a shame because I would really like to see it. My mom sews beautifully. I have an aunt who crochets, etc. I would love to see this.

Looks very interesting - but please, some audio, anything. I hope this isn't the final cut.
