Student projects are added irregularly and in no particular order. These are projects stretching back to 2002, from students in their 1st, 2nd and 3rd year and using vastly different tech. Thus; we recommend you use the tag cloud to the right to filter the projects you’re interested in!

The Last Vampire

A social deduction game based on roles given via a random draw of cards. A group of survivors must interrogate everyone as the days go by to figure out which one of them is secretly a vampire. They can use special game cards to argue and make their public deductions while there might be someone who is conspiring against the crowd. The game can be played in groups of 5-8 people. We imagine this game as a fun party game improving on the formulae shown in other games in the genre.

This game was awarded Best Game Design at the Gotland Game Conference 2024.

Wind Riders

Our team wants to create a game where you are racing against yourself or others in a sailing game. The booth will be built like two (very small) boats and one screen. The boats will have a physical rudder and sail. The main mechanics of the game is a rudder that controls the steering of the boat and a sail that you will have to catch the wind in. The high concept of the game is having two players plus some bots that race against each other just like Mario Kart. Also in this version the boats are fully fledged, something that looks like the hull and front of a boat with a viking theme. We also want fans that indicate the direction of the wind and really make the player feel like they are in a boat on an open sea.

This game was awarded the Jury Spotlight Award at the Gotland Game Conference 2024.

Metamorph

Metamorph is a low-poly 3D horror game that blends body horror and a narrative about growing up in a body that very quickly becomes foreign to you with aspects of the visual novel genre. The game is envisioned as a slow-paced atmospheric game that aims to envoke a growing sense of discomfort in an environment that slowly progresses and evolves alongside the player. Though the game is story-driven, as a team we’ve attempted to mix the story with interesting and engaging gameplay features and a unique visual style that mixes both traditional 2D and 3D graphics with mixed media and creative technical implementation. You play as a high school girl who wakes up one day and realizes she is slowly but surely turning into a twisted, bizarre cockroach monster. With this realization, she sets out to score a date with her crush before her grotesque transformation is complete. Will she succeed… Or will the pressures of high school and being stuck in a horrifying lovecraftian nightmare be too much? Play through an engaging story about teenage woes, explore a detailed 3D environment, experience a variety of minigames and prove that appearances aren’t anything, even when said appearances are a bit unconventional.

Museum.exe

“Museum.exe” is a virtual museum that exhibits some of the most notable indie games from the last decade. It is a 3D first-person game with a carefully curated collection of critically acclaimed projects, where the player explores and interacts with exhibits, learns about games and the influence they had on the industry. Just like in a real museum, we bring forward the concept and the ideas behind each of the exhibits but also we do this in the best way games can be presented – also through a game.

Museum.exe was awarded the Jury Spotlight Award at the Gotland Game Conference 2024.
