I thought more about this and now I have 9 more games that I felt bad about NOT including so here are those too

Looked into getting a MEM vending machine which is very reasonably sized but the bidding starts at $1500! So we decided if we can raise $1000 we’ll cover the rest. Donate here! venmo.com/code?user_id...

Went on a long 19 month journey with UFO 50 from building the LX in January 2025 to installing it at @wonderville.nyc to cosplaying as Woogy at @magfest.org and it’s finally done- 50 cherries. What a ride. What a game. Thank you @mossmouth.bsky.social

We have been gaming too hard it’s time to game softly for a little while

On Sunday June 7th @wonderville.nyc is celebrating our 7th birthday and we’re building a new horrifying arcade cabinet. Come check it out! Featuring @just404it.bsky.social Augustus Boehling, and Ben Sironko Supported by @arcadecommons.org and funded in part by Brooklyn Arts Council

Looking into making a giant trackball. Something like 8-10” in diameter. Anyone have references for something like this? Would prefer to use rotary encoders instead of an optical mouse so thinking roller bearings on the underside. Sketch by @just404it.bsky.social

Alright Casty it’s time to visit the big stable in the sky

For the back panel, I cut two keyholes for mounting and cut vent holes in what would become the "door" (though I opted to just leave this panel off for MAGFest) In retrospect I should have cut some vent holes in the top and sides as well, as the PC gives off a fair bit of heat in the small space

Mark Kleeb @kleeb.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

I didn't anticipate the size of the power supply for the PC so I had to sand it down to fit in the laser-cut hole

Mark Kleeb @kleeb.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

Instead of the Circuit Playground which is what the jam suggests for beginners, I used the Adafruit Itsy Bitsy board which also allows for HID inputs. The code uses the Keyboard library in Arduino to simulate key presses for each switch (switch on= key held down)

Mark Kleeb @kleeb.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

I used makercase.com to design an acrylic box using my Glowforge laser cutter and 1/4" acrylic. The LCD screen had four mounting holes, so I created two struts that spanned the width of the box to hold it in place. Here's what the guts look like

100

Mark Kleeb @kleeb.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

The screen can be powered via USB-C so it's plugged into the PC for power. I had to get a right-angle HDMI because the port is on the side of the screen and needed to conserve space. I got a USB-C panel mount extension to plug in the power supply to the computer

Mark Kleeb @kleeb.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

I had a 7" screen kicking around from prototyping mini Scrapeboard and I bought a teeny tini mini PC that I knew would fit inside the cabinet. Here are the links for those: a.co/d/a5w2UyD a.co/d/d3enzfu

I wanted to build a console for the game jam games that would eventually be wall-mounted and live at @wonderville.nyc Here's a demonstration of how it works showing Up To Go Down by @dxtr.se and Wesna

It’s Tuesday and I think I’m finally done unloading stuff from Magfest? Here’s some highlights

I’m doing a 10 year retrospective on my ITP class @newarcadeitp.bsky.social today at @magfest.org - come watch at 5:30!

Seems like a good time to pull this out again

Saw a review from @aftermath.site for the Echo Mini mp3 player and I’m excited to get back to iPod life. This feels like the best way to move away from Spotify, plus all of us geriatric millennials have huge music libraries from the early 00s already

Waiting until midnight seemed irresponsible

Mark Kleeb @kleeb.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

Finally upgraded mine this year and they’re so much nicer!

Mark Kleeb @kleeb.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

Of course I have to mention the LX console for @ufo50.bsky.social - the game I logged 400+ hours in this year. Thank you to Luke The Maker for the design files!

Mark Kleeb @kleeb.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

This is a controller for Lever Up I built with @mathewolson.com for the @wonderville.nyc Alt.Ctrl Fest in August. Games showcased were built for the @mag-indiearcade.bsky.social game jam in 2025

Mark Kleeb @kleeb.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

In addition to these I made some smaller interactive installations, like this fingerboard version of Scrapeboard by @beetleeggblues.bsky.social and dank.games

Number 12 hasn’t shipped yet but here’s a sneak peek! Sending it out in early January

2025 was a huge year for building arcade cabinets- I sold 12 this year alone! Here’s where they went: 1. Particle Mace by @andymakes.itch.io sent to @indiedarlingsf.bsky.social in SF

Thinking about how many mistakes I've made during fabrication that could have been "memorable" or "distinctive"

Bug Hunter was my 46th cherry. It took me so long to understand the nuance of this game and I went from really disliking it to enjoying the puzzles. Four more games to go
