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!

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.

Thesis on DiVA:

A Virtual Museum Game Case Study: Exploring How Virtual Museums Can Facilitate the Exhibition of Digital Games: How can a virtual museum effectively exhibit digital games as interactive exhibits without providing direct access to the original games?

Moccoletti

Moccoletti is a 2-4 player arena-style game with full controller support, where players will run around a garden maze, trying to deplete one another’s candle by shooting gusts of wind, navigating, dodging, or hiding in the dark to avoid the same happening to them. The game uses a pixel-art style, heavily relying on a mix of theatre and carnival aesthetics. The players choose between a wide selection different carnival mask as characters; and a range of weapons which all shoot wind in different ways (a hand fan is slow but hits a wider angle, while a hair dryer shoots in a straight line but has to recharge for a while to be useable again). The players can choose between different game modes for a free-for-all, or a team-based experience for a longer series of games to blow each other away in a carnival evening of chaos and mayhem!

Recitallion

Recitallion is a 2D grid based real time card game fighter. Engage in 1v1 or 2v2 bouts in which you beat your opponent using spell cards. Sacrifice the cards in your hand for powerful one-time effects or summon them for long-term support in battle. There is one catch though: summon theft. If your opponent defeats one of your summons, they can add it to their own deck to play against you! The game promises strategic but hectic combat, where good summon placements and smart use of sacrifices are key to winning the battle, as well as tense gameplay where comebacks are always possible thanks to the summon theft mechanic.

Whack-A-Bro

Standing in front of each other over a campfire, these former enemies have now found out that they have bigger issues when the sun passes the horizon, they must work together together to keep the campfire lit by using the most literal interpretation of the stone age-old adage “If it’s not working, have you tried hitting it?” to keep the fire alive so they can see their enemies in the cold night. Still having some conflict the paleolithic pals channel their hatred into squashing the bugs landing on eachother, with their club. Whilst in the magic circle the players will take their turns in this stone age high-action screenless game to hit the buttons located on the other players’ vest lit up by LED lights in a high action environment, sometimes being interrupted by the campfire going out. Restore safety and get back to bug squashing.
