Rune Mages

Rune Mages is a top-down, turn based strategy game that puts you in control of a couple of mages that wields runic magic. Demons have invaded the land and it is up to you to push them back and close their portal. Use strategic movement and cover to your advantage and combine runes to create spells that will hurt or hinder the enemies in your path.

Arcade games
1st year, GGC 2017

DynaMine

You are a thief rushing through a mine shaft, tossing and detonating dynamite sticks to fill up your cart with gold. Yet the night is short, hurry up and collect as much gold as possible before sunrise. Timing is crucial! If you detonate the dynamite too early, you fill your cart with worthless stones, but wait too long and you lose your earnings. Perfect timed explosions results in a “Gold Rush” state, which increases the score multiplier and the pace of the game. The final result is a hectic arcade game where you fight for the highest score to become the most wanted.

Behind the scenes

A peek behind the curtains on a Saturday; our 1st year students hard at work building their games for the GGC Show Floor. Only 15 days to go!

It might be weekend-work, but it’s not in vain; there are well over 300 people currently signed up to come and playtest! Make sure you have a ticket too. The Visitors Pass is the cheapest option (pay what you want) and is good for the entire conference – play games, listen to lectures, the award show and the party!

See you there!
