« Claustrosphere | Main | Empyreal Nocturne »

Roughly half of the thirty-six student projects showcased on DigiPen's games gallery have been made available for download.

The rest would probably be added to the list very shortly.

Comments

I've given them all a short try, and basically there are four which are okay. Empyreal Nocturne was nice. Claustroshpere and Bossinabox are games I have to go back and play a few minutes more to form an opinion, but seem like they might be good once you get into it. And finally PHLOP looks like Armadillo Run, with some extras, but worse graphics (probably made for 1024x768, which would be okay if you could get it out of full screen, now it's all blurry).

I should add that I couldn't get Virtual Soldier or Wrecking Ball to run.

Yeah JB, seems like those four are the only ones worth mentioning. Couldn't get PHLOP to work on my machine though, and judging from my internet connection it could be a couple of days before I get a look at the rest of the games.Maybe beta testing is not part of their curriculum? ;)

There's a bunch of games at the fallery where the download has been made available now. Thought you'd like to know.

I liked the Nabacular Drop which was the main idea for the Valve's Portal.
