Nomi: Monkey-catching game
We made a Taiwan-themed browser-based mobile third person musical marital detective shooter not too long ago. Since we made good slides for our talk in Tokyo last year, I want to talk about it once again.
Nomi is an interdisciplinary media art person who mainly makes 2D/3D art and videos events, interactive media, etc. Nomi also organises a community/events for art/experimental games and dopeshit called Gæmz (or Gæmz meetup) but in 2024 someone said that they remembered Nomi as a DJ.
