Many thanks to Jude Gomila of HeyZap for speaking at our last meeting! It was great to learn how social networks can be used to promote games, and hear a success story from a start-up co-founder.

Winners of the Collaborative Game Challenge have been announced! Intergalactic Planetary Super Showdown tied with Nyx for first place, and Cygnus the Cutie was a close runner up.

Our next challenge is the Facebook Game Dev Challenge! The details will be posted in a separate post.

Cygnus the Cutie is an entrant in the Collaborative Game Challenge, developed by Team Ragamuffin (Erik Holden: Programming, Jessica Bower: Art, Marek Kapolka: Programming, Miles Phillipe: Sound, Nam Nguyen: Programming).

Cygnus the Cutie is a game in which you eat stars to grow, but try to avoid asteroids because you will become a black hole.
The game is complete and fully playable, and features original graphics and design.
