A downloadable zine

This is the zine that we created for the Raindrop Races event at Boshi's Place, which was a curation of Ambient Play experiences. 

We showcased screensavers, CPU tournaments, physical toys,  idle games, independent games, and more

The zine has a list of the games shown, writing about many of them, writing on the concept of ambient play, and other fun stuff!

I was rereading the curator notes and realized an ambient game I had been playing for as long as I can remember - every time I sit in a long turning lane, I scan around to see if anyone’s turn signal is blinking at the same exact rate as mine.  To my memory I’ve come close, but never found one.

I’ve considered more than once doing the research to see if there’s some reason I’ve never found one, like there’s some standard or protocol that requires car manufacturers to produce turn signals that blink at different rates, but that would kind of ruin the game for me, wouldn’t it?
