Stage 2 Games Projects | Search For A Star 2018
For the 2018 challenge, students were given a basic framework in Unity & asked to create a published game to an industry brief. Students worked from a local multiplayer arena as a base project, though were given full creative control in how they developed their game from that point. As a result, we’ve ended up with an amazing range of submissions which we’ve presented here as a 2018 games directory.
The projects include frenetic ballgames with Robert Arnold‘s Sportsball and Kath Bruce‘s Crazy Football, co-operative stealth adventure from Thomas Sweetman with Collectors of Fortune, a customisable build-and-battle space arena with Space Slinger by John Green and a multitude of excellent action brawlers with Cylinder Battle by Sondre Agledahl, Warrior Island from Jack Holmes and James Adey‘s Tiki Tower. We’ve even got some complete conversions, including the challenging arcade racer Rad Racing by Felix Bridault, proc-gen platforming with Star Guardian Tower from Tudor Gheorghe and 3D battlefield combat in Miguel Fernandez‘s Remain In Conflict
As with the other categories, this years work has been of a very high standard and we hugely appreciate the work of our assessment team in creating a shortlist for the finals!
In total, 50 students submitted games projects, with 28 in the Search For A Star tier and 22 in Sumo Digital Rising Star.
