E4 Games writer, Harry, and I went along to X48 Game Camp the other week, to watch students from all over the UK compete to make the best game on the theme, ‘evolution’. The students were split into 16 teams to devise, build and present their games within a two-day deadline.
Many of the groups didn’t sleep (but will thank the god of Red Bull for keeping them going), some of them fell out, some of them may never recover and are probably sitting, rocking in a chair right now. Thankfully, every team had a game to show for their game-making all-nighter.
A team from Huddersfield won, with their game Seavolution. It’s a bit like our Chopter, but with added SCIENCE.
All the games are available to download on the X48 website.
The event was sponsored by Channel 4 and Microsoft, organised by Pixel Lab and hosted at the University of Derby.
