Description

Nest, a new stop-motion felted wool videogame by Ken Amarit.

Nest is a competitive local multiplayer game where you control cute, wobbly and wonky felted wool creatures and fight to control all the nests in the sky. Fly around and battle it out against your best friends and mortal enemies. Win a round by capturing all the nests, or by capturing more than your opponent does before the timer runs out.

Nest was made by needle felting wool sculptures that were then stop-motion animated. I dyed all the wool myself using natural dyes, including some grown in my own backyard. I was also able to locally source some of the wool here in New York City from the cotswold sheep raised at the Queens County Farm Museum. I am a one man team, and the game was made while I was an artist-in-residence at the Museum of Arts and Design in NYC.
