The Mailowl Scrolls

The dust has settled from the stampeding hordes attending rAge, various opinions and poll have been collated and, more importantly, all the photos have been uploaded!

While there was quite a lot going on at the expo the most outstanding feature was the Game.Dev stand and the announcement of the NAG Game.Dev Comp 10 winners.

First off, the competition winners; these guys pulled off some amazing feats and I’m embarrassed that I didn’t hand in anything.

Best new entrant
Hotel Manager – DarthPenguin and CiNiMoD

Third place
Cyberworx – Geometrix and kRush

Second place
Fantasy Land – Cairnswm

First place
Fast Food in Space – Evil_Toaster

I highly recommend you download these games and check them out; they’re a good indication of how far the South African game development community is coming.

As for the Game.Dev stand, I’m going to refer you to Danny Day’s post on the forums because there were so many good things to mention. In brief, Game.Dev really stood out and I think we can expect many more people getting involved in game development and growing our community into a viable industry!
