The department of Game Design at Uppsala University, campus Gotland
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!

Umbra is a 2D point & click flash-game that is easily accessed on the internet and played using only the mouse – the first chapter of a adventure game that is told like a classic fairy tale-book.
The player takes the role of Nili in her everyday life, living in a deep forest. The player’s choices to solve the everyday problems shape the experience. A stranger suddenly comes from nowhere and bring relevations that will change Nilis life forever.

The Crazy Race is a 2D side-scrolling racing game that supports up to four players at once. As you don’t have to be all players, the remaining spots will be filled by Artificial Intelligence controlled vehicles. To guidance there will be springs and other mystical objects on the maps, to create a more fun environment.
The game is developed using the XNA framework.

Slingshot is a team based space shooter game with focus on navigation through the forces of gravity. The Slingshot team (Abstract Reality) has labored to produce a physics based experience, coupled with a traditional space shooter, and creating a new kind of game play which is unique on today’s market. Using the gravity around each planet the players can go into orbits to change direction. They can also fire their engines at the opportune moment to slingshot around the map while saving their fuel.
Slingshot´s primary game mode on GGC is called Gold Rush. It involves two teams of players who compete against each other to win the most precious golden asteroids for their home world. Every team member has a ship equipped with both weapons and a grappling hook, which is the players’ most important interface. Using the tools will allow the players to tow asteroids into orbit around their home world to score points. The team with most points wins.
Our teams are Planet Freedom and Planet Brotherhood. Both teams have a whacky assortment of characters and ships based upon familiar caricatures from the cold war’s space race.
The graphic tools that we have used in development are 3D max, Photoshop CS4 and Zbrush.
Our programmers have worked with Visual Studio 2010, XNA 4.0, Farseer Physics Engine, F-MOD (Audio mode) and .NET ( Dot NET) for networking.
