OUYA… Why Amazing Frog? is on Steam Early Access
From the beginning, Hal and I have had a shared vision for Amazing Frog? To make a “GTA” Style, online multiplayer, rag doll frog, physics sandbox version of Swindon. This is our vision and there is no quick route to achieve this. We put Amazing Frog? on OUYA, unnoticed, March 2013 when it was just a […]
Cascade – Science in Games.
Cascade is our game about Alzheimer’s Disease. You fly around planet like brain cells amidst floating protein debris blasting enzymes in an attempt to save the brain, one cell at a time. Its been a while since we said much about Cascade, but we have still been moving the project forward. In March we showed […]
Don’t wanna be indie, at Fayju we want to make ‘Big Ass’ games with Amazing Frogs in.
We’re Fayju, the team who made Amazing Frog? and we are the smallest type of team you can get…two people. Fayju is me, Gaz Bushell ( @fayju ) and Hal Jackson ( @feckwagon ). We love making games, but we are cursed with stupidly big ideas. Seriously, we tried to make a simple throw-a-rag-doll-frog game… you know for iOS with some purchases in it, free-to-play, repetitive-compulsion […]
Live Stream of Fayju’s IndieCade Feedback
I flopped facedown on my laptop for a few hours when I got the feedback from IndieCade. I went Rag Doll and just slumped there until the rage built up, and I attempted to throw Harry out the window. He took it in stride–not sure he noticed, also he’s good at not being thrown out of the window […]
Can we focus on making games now?
Feels a little like a witch hunt by indie devs on OUYA…not cool. Though OUYA is a small, approachable company that you can actually speak to, that’s not a reason for devs to mass together and act like they are running the show. Firing demands … Stating ultimatums … in case you missed it, they […]
Whats your beef with bears, Goldilocks?
Bear Pain I think there is a potentially unhealthy obsession with “bear pain” in gaming these days. Bears are like the “other” zombies, or at least thats how I see it. Back in 2009 when Hal and I were putting together Fayju Ball and we were just getting into our Fayju Unity workflow and there […]

Zurich 2008 – The Nova trials
In 2008 squidsoup went to the Technopark in Zurich to experiment with ETHZ’s Baby Nova Grid of LED lights. Over the year that followed we then created two exhibition works Stealth and Discontinuum specifically for the Nova grid. It was a great opportunity to explore the possibilities of working with a LED grid. We had […]
Squidsoup -Pest Control Glastonbury 2010
Pest Control, Glastonbury 2010 from squidsoup on Vimeo. more Pest Control images on flickr The interesting thing about Pest Control for Glastonbury was not so much the location, but the volumes of people for whom the project was created and how interactivity would be delivered in this situation. Not that programming while the sun rises […]
Discontinuum + ghosts Bains Numerique engien les bains Paris
I recently found this photo and it got me thinking about the situation of installing Digital Art. I mentioned Discontinuum in an earlier post about the background of Ocean of light, things moved so fast since then that some times interesting Ideas get left behind or on the kerb. Its definately a concept worth revisiting. […]
