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!

Introduction to game development is a course in production methodology taken by all GAME-students in their first semester. That’s 85 freshly green artists and programmers, all producing a game within a few weeks. Since 2006 we’re utilizing SCRUM and using Torque Game Builder for quick production, and fence students into the space shooter genre to avoid spending too much time on R&D. Despite these severe limitation (or perhaps, thanks to?) the students consistently manage to surprise us with their creative exploration of the problem space.
