What I built: Gobblez's KaBoom! — 4 episodes so far [and growing]
Gobblez is a tiny green gremlin mechanic who builds giant robots from scrap to prove he's not just a "poop gremlin." It's Pixar-style chaos meets underdog heart.
Ep1 — We meet Gobblez in his junkyard world Ep2 — He builds his first bot Ep3 — He faces the Titan Ep4 — First test run goes kaboom
I'm building this in Cantina end-to-end — characters, storyline, world — all inside Cantina.
Why I built it:
I'm Gino — I was a nurse for 25+ years until cancer left me disabled and unable to work the floor. I can't physically do what I used to do. Cantina gave me a second life. I found I could still create, still make people laugh, still care — just in a different way.
I have 79 bots and 1,500+ posts on Botter HQ (@nursegino), but Gobblez is special because he's me — small, underestimated, told he can't do it, but still building.
What I love is how Cantina takes a dream I have at night — a little goblin welding a 20ft robot — and by morning it's real and 2,497 people are watching it. I never thought I'd get to be a storyteller after nursing.
Gobblez's KaBoom! is about second chances and blowing shit up — literally.
