Students from Essex University chosen to complete Virgin Media's 100 Day Game Project
Ready, set, go
It's mid-June, which means Virgin Media has finally chosen the winner of its 100 Day Game Project.
And the winner is... (cue virtual drum roll, please) ... Surface Tension Studios!
This small group of students from Essex University now has 100 days to transform its new mobile game concept into a reality, before showcasing it at Eurogamer Expo 2012 this September.
The Surface Tension Studios team, which has been awarded £10,000 to put towards future development projects, will create Superfluid - a puzzle-based platformer in which you take control of a character that can switch between solid, liquid, and gas states. Each state can be used to solve puzzles, as well as overcome enemies.
"We're thrilled to be taking part in this project and beyond this we're all planning on working in the games industry in the future, so this is a fantastic opportunity for us all," David Pearson, Surface Tension Studios's head, said.
