Aethereal dev shop

The work
has a horizon.

Walking Visuals builds software you can step into. Marketplaces with a floor. Games with a season. Sites and systems for businesses that still answer the phone.

Portal mark: an archway of light opening onto a corridor.

01 — Aethereal

A place you remember how to enter.

Aethereal, in this shop, means the work has depth you can use. A clear way in. Light far enough ahead that you can walk toward it. The mark is an arch and a corridor. We build what belongs on the other side.

02 — Practice

Three kinds of work.

  1. 01

    Products

    Things we keep. Apps and games with a point of view, designed and engineered in the same room, then stayed with after they meet people.

  2. 02

    Places

    The public face of a working business. Hours that are true, a way to reach a person, and a page that still makes sense on a phone in a parking lot.

  3. 03

    Instruments

    The tool that does not exist yet. When the software on the shelf would make the day worse, we build the piece that fits the work.

03 — The bench

In the studio.

  1. 01

    nexTTable

    A card show you can walk. Tables on a floor, want lists, live drops, and an offer made to the person across the aisle.

    Marketplace
  2. 02

    Tailgate

    Good people, good food. A shelf for anyone who grows, raises, or makes something, and the neighbors who want it.

    Local food
  3. 03

    Heroine

    A horror running app for the girls. Hit your pace, or the hex catches you.

    Running
  4. 04

    Rat King Racer

    A nameless rat in a Brooklyn drain, a crown at the end of the city, and a season to hold it.

    A game

Still in the studio. The same attention is available for a shop, a counter, or a system of your own.

04 — The way in

Four rooms. Then the work.

  1. 01

    Listen

    We start from the day as it is. Who answers. What breaks. What the thing is actually for.

  2. 02

    Shape

    A small true version before a large vague one. The first walk through it should already feel like the place.

  3. 03

    Build

    Type, image, data, and the edge cases, in the same room. Nothing here is skinned on afterward.

  4. 04

    Stay

    Launch is a door. We remain while the work meets the people it was made for.

05 — Visit
