Eyes On The Machine: Contraption Maker Videos
The sky was the colour of a positive pregnancy test and the bomb rolled down the slope. The bomber ran in the opposite direction, like that kitten startled by a lizard. The bomb kept rolling, it was like gravity believed in its cause. But was it gravity, or was it something more? For some reason a football hit a spring that pushed the bomb off in another direction. The bomber landed on a torch that shone through a magnifying glass and lit the bomb, just like that bit in the map room in Indiana Jones. The explosion was heard for miles, rabbits flinched and cowered as a wall crumbled, releasing the bomber to set off a rocket and fall into a box. Then the guy from Twilight showed up and both men kissed. If you'd rather experience Contraption Maker without clumsy prose and adult situations, you can always just watch the videos I dug up on the developer's blog.

Recognise it? It was what my fan fiction was based on. Contraption Maker is a reimagining of Incredible Machine, so if it feels familiar it's because it's based on a series that everyone that has ever wrestled with a DOS prompt has played. It's an old, old series with new, new clothes. It was only announced a month ago, but there are already a few videos showing off the early work that's been done. You can have one more video before I send you off to the developer's blog to see the rest, because he's clearly enjoying sharing the process with everyone. This one shows off some recently added rope physics.
