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!

Krax Ca-caw’s Concoction Chaos

A physically interactive game with tactile inputs, where the player(s) add physical ingredients into a cauldron or stir it in the right direction according to a recipe they must find. After adding the appropriate ingredients and stirring the pot, the players shows Krax the potion. The player will be given points depending on their accuracy with the recipe. The more steps of the brew that are in the correct order, the higher the score. However, there is a limited time and players compete in who can make the most potions the most accurately in the given time! Krax himself serves as the player’s teacher and judge, reacting to the input of the player throughout the entirety of the game.

Krax Ca-caw’s Concoction Chaos was awarded Best Arcade Experience at the Gotland Game Conference 2024.

The Social Grip: Llama Drama

The Social Grip: Llama Drama is a second-person perspective stealth game and is a continuation of last year’s The Social Grip. Almost every part of the game has been given a close look and is being updated. In each level players will have to switch between the security cameras to move the main character Dan around. Players, will have to think carefully on when and where to move and how to avoid the guards patrolling the levels. The original grid-based movement has been replaced with more responsive point-and-click movement. Our art team has also taken a close look at last year’s art style and are working on an improved art style. Finally, we are planning to introduce new mechanics and goals such as collecting evidence and hacking into elements of the environment.

The Social Grip: Llama Drama was awarded The Almedalen Library Award at the Gotland Game Conference 2024.

To Save a Soul

To Save a Soul is a 3D, stylized, from a 3rd person perspective, adventuring puzzle game played on PC. The story takes place in Limbo, with the heir of limbo as the main character. The game will feature heavy themes and create a moving story with a player choice at the end. You as the heir will venture into the memories of souls that are just at the brink of death. In doing so, you will create a connection with the souls, understanding their fears, joys, regrets, and loves. In the end, you will have to make a complex ethical decision about what is right or wrong. Trying to restore the balance and where the echoes of the past meet the possibility of the future.
