After a great challenge, yesterday were the great night with six funny games up to win the prizes. At Microsoft Portugal auditorium, the six teams had a change to show each game running on PC and Xbox 360.
The six games were:
1 - HomeWorld
This game is about a little word that you can take care against the pollution. With a nice graphics, it's possible to simulate how we can damage our little word. First prize!
2 - Super Tenia and Friends
Inside of a pig intestine an tapeworm to control the level of fatness. Too much fat the pig goes to butcher! Else the pig dies. Second prize.
3 - Symbiose
This game came from a group of IST students. It's another 3D simulation about the environmental damage that we can made by constructing and developing a industrial city. Third prize!
4 - PizzaShoot
As the name suggest, the teenage mutant ninja turtles were back to get pizzas in theirs faces! This is my team game with Bruno Silva. Fourth Prize!
5 - Xpaces and qualquer coisa
This were a similar game as the well known space battle. Bruno Tavares has made some great adjustments.
6 - Dentinho Pescada
A warier fish combats the evils sea species. A cool 2D game with a scary scenario.
So the formula is quite simple: night + some pizzas & very silly XNA games! Yeah! Great event, great evening indeed!
I think that this initiative is a big step to get the game developers inside of XNA gaming world. Remember that if you want to get started with this technology the XNA web site, Creators Club and the Dream Build Play Challenge are the best guides.
Congratulations for all participants and for the extraordinary event organization.
Check out some photos.
