First development challenge of the semester

Our first game development challenge starts in two weeks, but you need to form your teams now! For the first time ever, we will be collaborating with students at Cogswell Polytechnical College. Through collaboration, we hope to get several teams that each have dedicated programmers and artists, as well as game designers and others.

To get the teams formed for this challenge, please post on this Google group, even if you plan to work independently or already have a team planned: The Cogswell and SJSU Collaborative Game Challenge Google Group. Following the example (the readme post), please state your skills and the type of team or team members that you’d like to work with. In a week or so, participants can then go through the list to find team members.

Ultimate Online Checkers is a Flash game developed by Edgar Miranda (lead programmer and designer) and many others (see in game credits). It won 7th place in the Mochi Media “Become a Rock Star” Flash Game Contest.

This polished game features online multiplayer gameplay and original artwork. It is complete and fully playable.
