Gesture-Based Puppeteering Game brODDcast Announced

SoftKinetic Studios and Fuel Entertainment have announced brODDcast, a puppeteering title for natural gesture recognition-based platforms. brODDcast lets anyone control on-screen puppets using their own body movements to create unique theatrical performances that can be shared online.
