Last June, 60+ of our top-performing students worked very hard on a one-of-a-kind design challenge: create a game where player-player communication is the main mechanic. All in only 48 hours.
To accomplish this, our industry partners from Dolby Laboratories taught us the most advanced features in their latest Dolby.io plugin for Unity.
10 student groups from 6+ very diverse disciplines within the university (IT, Engineering, Music and Sound Design, Games Dev, Computer Science, etc) have competed for 4 unique award categories.
