IGF Entrants

So I just downloaded 48 games from the IGF student competition. I need to try them out and see how well Electropy compares to them all. There were 125 entrants and they pick the top 12 so we need to be in the top 10%. A lot of the games seem to be mods which worry me a bit, a Half-Life 2 mod is going to have far suppirior graphics to any of the other games, but since the judges are game developers themselves they probably know this. A lot of games were also submited by colleges for game development, ie DigiPen. They look pretty good, I'm gonna get to playing some of them tonight and I'll post up some reviews. One thing I've notices is that Electropy was the only one I saw with a Mac version... this could be though because some of the site auto detected my OS. We also have a built in editor so we'll see what other games can do there. I think Electropy has a lot of polish, which just takes time and a lot of the dev times for these games don't seem that long... so I think we have a chance at getting some points there.

Wish us all luck, and I wish the other students luck as well!

Team Phobic Dev Blog

Well I've been busy with school, work and Electropy. Mostly the Electropy Website as well as the backend of teamphobic.net. Its a pretty neat system I am setting up. I'm going to migrate this blog to be my dev blog for teamphobic work. I was going to write my own blog software but the more I think about it it kind of might get confusing writing a blog about the development of the blog I'm writing on. Also, this case if there are any problems with the site one could check this blog and I could let people know what was going on.
