Playfest.
Narasi's annual festival, moved online in 2020 as an interactive WebGL event site.
About the project.
Playfest is Narasi's annual festival; in 2020 the pandemic moved it fully online. I led the Nuxt.js build, integrating WebGL interactive experiences into a content-heavy site and keeping it stable under live-session traffic spikes on a fixed event date.
Challenges & decisions.
The brief
A large-scale interactive web platform built to support Narasi’s Virtual Playfest, an online event featuring live content and interactive experiences for a broad audience.
