Game Competition update

Hey guys. I know I haven't updated in a while. I've been crunching with my team mates on getting SPIDER finished. I presented last week, even though we hadn't completed the game. The awards ceremony for the competition was on friday, and the judges (who are all very cool people in the industry) recognized our work. We were the only game who got recognized, out of the 3 or 4 games which didn't finish and still presented.

I'm really really happy with how everything played out. Even though we didn't have a complete game at that point, we were stil able to present what hard work we did put into it. And we are definitely continuing development of SPIDER.

As for the judges, they were John Say (of Say Design), Dave Kosak (of Fileplanet/Gamespy), and Dave Perry (Countless AAA game titles). It's been a huge honor to get feedback from these guys, who generously devoted their time to judging the competition.

And as for the game, when it's complete, we're going to start distributing it. Here's a gameplay screenshot:

I'm going into shock...

Have I mentioned how incredibly excited I am about BioShock? This game looks incredible to me, and 1up just released a 20 minute sort-of behind-the-scenes look here: 1up BioShock Special. This thing is definitely worth watching, it has some cool insights into the story of the game, and how it was developed. A game like this just says volumes with it's atmosphere, go check out the video guys. :D.
