If video games had existed in the Old West, I like to think they would have looked like Gunman Clive. A sepia-toned 2D Western done up as a platform shooter, its scratchy, hand-drawn aesthetic resembles early 20th century animation.

Its basic move/jump/shoot controls would have ensured young bucks gallivanting about town could easily manoeuvre their gunslinger alter-egos, while its often fiendish difficulty would have eaten up plenty of hard-earned coins. Lucky for us, Gunman Clive is priced more generously than the change-eating parlour games of the time. Heck, it doesn't even have micro-transactions. No daylight robbery.

Rather than focusing on the grit of the era, Gunman Clive provides a cleaned-up view of the West with a shooter that resembles Contra by way of Roy Rogers. In true shooting gallery fashion, bandits pop out from behind crates, windows and trapdoors in the ground.

Clive is a smooth cat, his face forever shrouded in the shadow of his cowboy hat's brim. The monochromatic art makes his gun belts appear like an optical illusion, oscillating between holsters and a Nathan Drake-esque half-tuck. It's pretty slick, either way, and there's an almost Han Solo-like grace to the way Clive kneels and shoots a foe peering out a trapdoor moments before they fire back.

GROTTO - FABLAB COLOMBIA
Grotto -o Gruta- no es una estantería tradicional. Es un mueble pensado para cumplir múltiples funciones de almacenamiento: un pequeño bar, biblioteca y objetos decorativos. Además, debía tener un espacio interior donde alguien pudiera sentarse.

Una reflexión sobre la naturaleza, lo orgánico, lo celular, los arcos romanos, eso que pasa en los derrumbes cuando las piedras se apilan unas con otras hasta lograr una estabilidad, fueron los referentes que le sirvieron al arquitecto Gabriel Ochoa de Bedout para definir el concepto de diseño de este proyecto.

Con su equipo de trabajo de FabLab Colombia, logró expresar de forma contemporánea esas ideas a través de volúmenes desiguales en forma y tamaño que, como si fueran rocas, se unen para construir un sistema armónico de módulos para almacenar. El mueble puede crecer o decrecer y sus módulos, usarse en conjunto o individualmente.
