It’s done, there is no way back. We tried, we failed. The team is now dismantled and we have requested bankruptcy unable to pay outstanding bills. I guess our public silence the last few months already said a lot. It is not out of disrespect that our communication dropped to almost zero… it is out of shame. It is truly devastating to read the negative comments we received by some press and players. With Woolfe being the most passion driven thing we have ever created, it feels horrible to live with the feeling we let you down. Once the sales [ Read More ]

Vlaanderen kookt wild! A Live Dutch TV show where a professional cook prepares a dinner. The cool thing about this show was that everybody at home could join in the cooking fun at home. Via tablets and smartphone home cooks could broadcast their own creations directly to television. GRIN created the iPhone, Android and browser Apps for the show, but we also created the backend system. A complete user moderation tool, a video mixer and video matrix broadcaster system. The system is an improved rebuild of what we did for Studio Brussels – Sound of Sam show. In cooperation with: [ Read More ]

EBEMA is one of Belgiums biggest manufacturers of cement tiles. For the opening event of their new production plant they wanted something to guide their visitors through the production process of their plant without putting them in harms way. GRIN created a Kinect driven 3D installation where the visitor had to move in front of a large projection screen to virtually move through the factory. To make it a little more “fun” visitors were able to collect points during the experience. The visitor with the most points at the end of the day recieved a nice prize!

Big Bad ‘Woolfe’: in for the win. Happy days and champagne at the GriN headquarters! The project we submitted for the VAF (Vlaams Audiovisueel Fonds) Gamefund was granted a “Go!”.

More details about the project will be revealed over the next few months, as production kicks off. For now, we’ll leave it at the following project description: In this sidescroller odysee, a vengeful Little Red Riding Hood is out to defeat her greatest demon, B.B. Woolfe. Think [ Read More ]
