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.
Intergalactic Planetary Super Showdown is an entrant in the Collaborative Game Challenge, developed by The Danger People (Alex Kerr: Programming, Eric Chamberlain: Art, David Do: Art, Blake McChristian: Design, Joe: Programming).
IPSS is a two-player game in which each player tries to destroy the other. The players can jump between planets and move them.
The game is complete and fully playable, and feature original art and design.
The San Jose State University Game Development Club was founded in Fall 2008. The club is growing, and is an independent, student-run organization. It promotes all aspects of game development, including programming and art. The club offers guest speakers, game development competitions, social networking and teamwork, and pizza.
We are an up-and-coming student organization that needs members! If you are interested in game development send us an email, add us on Facebook, or come to our next meeting (schedule on the right).
