Octodad is an award-winning adventure game about destruction, deception, and fatherhood. The player controls Octodad, a dapper octopus masquerading as a human, as he goes about a day of his life. His existence is a constant struggle, as he must master mundane tasks with his unwieldy boneless tentacles while simultaneously keeping his cephalopodian nature a secret from his human family. The game is a student showcase winner at the 2011 Independent Games Festival. It's free & available now at http://octodadgame.com/

Octodad was developed by students at DePaul University, located in Chicago, Illinois. Developers Philip Tibitoski & Devon Scott-Tunkin will share technical information about the game, its unique control system and where the project is headed next.

WTF:

What is a "dorkbot"?! The idea of the international dorkbot network is "people doing strange things with electricity" and meeting in informal, friendly environments to discuss their projects. These projects could include hardware hacks, New Media Art projects, creative code, circuit bent musical instruments or wild DIY garage science!
