Alumni Days && Everybody is a Noob Jam

Our Alumni days have come and gone.

The lectures were great, but the what stole the show was probably the miniature 6 hour “Everybody is a Noob” game jam that was held. The reason why everyone was a noob was because we were required to build our games in Game Maker Studio, a tool that most of us knew about but had never used.

The theme of the jam was “Everyday Doom”. I teamed up with an alumn, two first year students and a classmate. Together, we made simple sorting game where you play Paris Hilton as she’s flipping burgers in her own personal hell.

My personal favourites among the games that came out of the jam were these:

Doom’s Date – A dating sim where you get to woo the adorable Marvel character Dr. Doom.

Lunchtime – A game that properly captures the horror of finding a seat in the school cafeteria.

Snaijgel Simulator 2014 – Get the snail across the road! A super cute game that shows how thrilling and dangerous the life a snail actually is.
