Turns out museums aren't just for dinosaurs. š¦
š CTRL+ALT+PAST won the Wonder Challenge!
Thank you to Wonder and Contra for creating such a fun challenge and pushing us to explore ideas we probably wouldn't have built otherwise.
Huge thanks to everyone who followed the journey, gave feedback, hyped me up, and believed in the idea of turning old interfaces into museum artifacts. š
This project started as a random "what if?" and somehow turned into an award-winning experience.
Safe to say... Windows XP officially belongs in a museum now. š„ļøāØ

Last Build Log before submission ā Almost There.

What started as a simple idea has become something much more personal.
Over the past days I've been transforming years of memories from Temple Lane Studios and the Irish Rock 'n' Roll Museum Experience into an interactive digital story.
This isn't a generic museum website.
It's an experience built around atmosphere, memory, sound, and discovery.
Every room has a purpose. Every transition tells part of the story. Every detail was designed to make visitors feel like they're uncovering something that has always been there, waiting to be found.
The latest milestone introduces the final narrative arcābringing together recovered memories, rehearsal rooms, archival photography, and the emotional ending I've been building toward since the first wireframe.
What makes this project different is that it isn't based on research alone.
I've rehearsed in Temple Lane. I've spent countless hours in those rooms. I've met incredible musicians there. Those experiences became the creative foundation for every design decision.
Building this in Base44 has been an incredible experience. Watching an idea evolve from rough sketches into a polished interactive experience in such a short time has been genuinely impressive.
There are still a few finishing touches left before I hit Submit.
The next update will be the final one.
Wish me luck.
