UTS Student Games at the POWERHOUSE LATE: GAMING
Last September, a group of UTS Game Development students had the opportunity to showcase their semester projects at the 2023 POWERHOSE LATE: GAMING event.
This event is aimed at bringing together the games community as well as celebrating the breadth of Australian game innovation through live performances, local game developer showcases, tabletop arenas and immersive game experiences.

Synopsis: Dave Inche was working in the newest emulsion paint company on the market, Painter-Boja, when a terrible disaster happened, a chemical element tumbled out of their hands and dripped a single drop of arsenic into the brewing paint. Dave Inche didn't think anything of it until people began to turn into adorable monsters called 'Huemens'. He must now work on a solution to solve what has started off as a minor incident, using his paintbrush and various paints to cure the town from the virus.
