Emerging media design students joined students across campus to participate in a weeklong game jam, an event where students have one week to make a digital game based on a surprise theme. This semester’s theme, announced on the first day of the game jam on March 9, was “One Button.”
Student teams submitted twelve wildly different games, ranging from games controlled by a single button input to games that took a more metaphorical approach to the theme.
An awards jury chose the game Blorbos, made by Cat Soup (Kitty Marsh and Elijah Parkos), to receive the Jury Award Prize, a $1,000 cash prize sponsored by the Schulze School of Entrepreneurship.
The Schulze School also sponsored an Audience Choice Award, given to the game YOU’VE BEEN HACKED by Third Persona Games.
Slidungeon by Team Ryan won the Design Award, chosen by Dr. Sky LaRell Anderson who teaches game design in the department of Emerging Media.
