So, this week we had the honor of being judges at GGC, or Gotland Game Conference, a local games conference hosted by our school, where the students at the Game Design program showcase their game projects and compete for a set of prizes! It’s great to get a chance to meet fellow game developers, talk about the business and just take a short break.
The games were amazing, as always. We keep saying that each year only gets better, and this time was no exception! Below is a showcase video featuring the games that were competing this year, and most of them were really fun:
The Grand Prize winner was Frog Climber, which was a first year project, so it’ll be interesting to see what the developers come up with next year!
Since no weekly recap would be complete without any sort of Secrets of Grindea update, this time we’re sharing two of Vilya’s portrait WIP videos from her personal YouTube account:
The videos feature future Santa Fae residents and the finished sprites can be viewed below:
I really like the art videos!
The games shown in the video are really cool, indeed. Why didn’t you compete?

Wow, that’s some fine student work!
Here in Finland, the project works are all crap and you’ll still get a good grade.Glad to see that the game dev school there has people striving for greatness.
