So yesterday, Nadia linked Day and Night on the facebook page for our class. This has lead to a lot of questions on what exactly the video shows. So let me give you a bit of an introduction.
Fraxy is a free computer game produced by, as far as we know, a single developer in Japan. It functions in English or Japanese, and has something of a community around it in both languages. The primary appeal of Fraxy is the ability to make your own creations in it. Generally, what people end up creating is very over the top, excessively long "boss battles". It then became common practice to record videos of the bosses, add music, and so on. Many have also taken to making the videos tell a story as you watch through a series of different videos.
Which means, while I didn't make Fraxy or anything like that, I am totally responsible for both the recording, playing, and the content of the video that was linked on the Facebook page yesterday. And indeed, any one of you, if you are interested, could download Fraxy, download some bosses and play them, or even make your own.
