During one of the CoTech events during the lockdowns, we used a SNES-style 8-bit-art game engine to use as a digital analogue to a physical space.
Who was it that set that up?
Is it still available?

I don’t think I remember this but it sounds like something like gather.town - is it that?

we were using https://workadventu.re/
I did try using it to build my own map for a live game, but it turned out to be a lot of trouble so we used the default, with a hidden entrance to an external link

That’s the one 
@Ieva_BlakeHouse and @simon.blakehouse - I had a think about the gather[dot]town instance you created, and was going to suggest it to one group that are looking to do a remote event.
Is it still active, so i can show them what it’s like?

I sincerely doubt it - it was used maybe two years ago and I haven’t used it since.
From what I can remember, building a custom map was a challenge, especially when working to a deadline. When the event was live using the default map, it was pretty fun and people were running around loading different chats. Someone with better time management could probably wrangle a decent custom skin given enough lead time.
