Up the Mountain

The game features 3 puzzles, each with unique mechanics and at least two solutions. These solutions are representative of one of the two factions that are competing to win the favour of their god. The player will randomly become part of one faction at the start of the game, but otherwise retain the same abilites. This will be used to evaluate whether the player’s faction has any effect on their approach to solving the puzzles. The project will most likely be mechanically complete, but not visually impressive. The aim is to test the playability of the project and collect data for our thesis.

Gaggle of Geese

Gaggle of Geese is a comedic strategy board game. With children being the main target audience, the game’s visuals are vivid and light-hearted, as is the theme of the game itself. The game is fast-paced and allows for several quick games to be played in succession. Players take turns attempting to stash items in their nests and preventing others from doing so. Everyone chooses their action secretly before the round starts, and players then reveal their choice one by one, resulting in chaotic goose behavior. Board game shenanigans is a game development group made up of six bachelor’s game design students. We design games with easy-to-learn, accessible mechanics. We have worked on this game for months, and are excited to present it at the GGC, hopefully aiding us in our ambition to publish the game.

Checkout Showdown

In our five-member degree project, we aim to explore how to digitally emulating claymation using 3D animation and programming within the realm of 3D game development. Our project experimented with techniques for creating digital claymation assets and animations while investigating how gameplay mechanics can be adapted to complement and amplify the claymation visuals. We also aim to uncover methods to explore how gameplay mechanics can be adapted and optimized to complement and enhance the claymation visuals, ultimately delivering a cohesive and immersive gaming experience.
