Congratulations to the 51StandFire senior project team for WINNING FIRST PLACE BEST GAME PLAY at Intel’s Univeristy Games Showcase at this year’s Game Developers Conference!! The competition this year included Carnegie Mellon, NYU, RIT, Savannah College of Art and Design, SMU, USC, UC/Santa Cruz, Utah, the University of Texas, and Digipen. The Drexel Team’s game, “Mirrors of Grimaldi” won with a very unique game play dynamic featuring a multi-player interface that increases or reduces a player’s available screen space based on how well they are competing against other players in each match.
