A new Resources Vault has been added to the site’s content! This is where we hope to offer you with tutorials, source code for games, sprite arts, music and other essentials for game design and game development. And to go with the launch of the Resource Vault, we have our first Game Maker game for download, ZeroX, a vertical shooting game for download! Check it out!

On other news, Mikoishi is holding an animation competition for their Dropcast game; using characters from their DS game, you have to come up with an entertaining, ass-kicking and awe-inspiring 2 minute animation. Budding animators, here is your chance!

Hi All! Below are the videos from Mr Theo Sanders’ Talk. Due to time constraints, we can only put up two clips were created.

There are now 2 slots left for the XNA One on One Coaching workshop. Do hurry; respond to the post or email to me if you are interested in learning XNA. Basically, you can learn yourself, but the workshop has the advantages of me breathing down your neck (to make sure you do some work) and that if we get stuck, we can solve problems together instead of relying on forums.

So hurry, book your slot!

This is Siegework, the game which my team and I produced for our games development module. You can download the game here. The game is created with Java Monkey Engine, with Java Network Library and jME Physics 2. As the game contains some paid models, we are thinking of a way to release the source code without any issues. Meanwhile, enjoy the video and the game!

Me? I was just the game designer, documentation writer (the Game Design Doc and Technical Doc) and the audio programmer.The starting theme comes from Age of Wonders 2, and the battle theme is from Soulcalibar.

Yo folks,

I have just added Xuan Ming’s (the person behind our banner) website to our list of links featuring student developers. His games are simple to play, eye-catching and unique, so do check out his site

Here are some pictures and a video that were taken on that day:

Sean Chan has released a rather unique and cute game and coincidentally, it meshes well with the theme of Valentine. So since this is the Valentine Week, it may a good time to mention it. It’s a rather short game but surely will bring lots of memories and stir some emotions. Head over to his site to grab it!

To commemorate the Chinese New Year, we are launching Freefall, our first Flash game from the IGDASSC. We are tweaking it and adding more, eh, features to it in the time to come, but right now it’s playable, it’s beautiful (thanks to Justin’s art!) and we will work to add more stuff in. Consider this our pet project

Oh yah, you can play Freefall by clicking here!
