Keep Calm And Dont Blink!

10 weeks of Project Runway brutal production starts today.
2nd year students kicking off their big production course, lead by Adam Mayes (Sci, Psygognis, Crysis)
We’ve got 15 first year teams, 12 in the second year. The third year is mostly doing thesis work, so we’re expecting 2 games and a massive art gallery. The fourth year is still shrouded in myth and mystery.
Adam Mayes (Sci, Psygognis, Crysis) will be your guide on this 10 week tour of spectacular hope and despair!
The countdown has started; it’s time to earn that spot in front of the jury and on the showfloor.

Houston; we have t-shirt

Well. We’ve always had t-shirts, but this design is new. Code-literate people would read these as “Gotland University – Game Design AND Programming OR Graphics” – mirroring the structure of our educations (game design major, art or code minor).

… programmers will then likely realize how silly it is to do Boolean comparison when clearly we’re aiming for something like a bitwise assignment. 🙂

The shirts are for sale in the university reception (plastic only people!). GAME students can sign up here to allow us to restock.
