KTH Game Awards Grande Finale

Posted by michael on from the time-wasting dept.

CoderByBirth writes "The winners of the KTH Game Awards, a game programming competition for students held in Sweden were announced yesterday at KTH (The Royal Institute Of Technology) in Stockholm. 25 teams participated in the competition, which was divided into two parts, where the first part was to create a Technical Design Document (TDD) and a Game Design Document (GDD) and the second was to complete a working game demo or prototype. The student submissions were reviewed by a jury consisting of employees from DICE (creators of Battlefield 1942, Pinball Dreams) and Starbreeze Studios (Outforce, Enclave) as well as a representative from KTH. You can download the top three submissions here."

      It is nonsense! Wonderful upper management nonsense!

      If you've ever seen one, it reads like something from Lewis Carrol or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, or maybe more like a Dr. Suess poem.

    My boss never tells me to make a warhead however I want to -- there's always a specification of what technologies I must use.

    Your boss tells you to make a warhead? Wow! Even when I worked for the Ministry of Defence, that never happened to me...

    A lot of game development involves pushing the boundaries

    Don't forget they require you to 'think outside the box', by 'reaching a new level of immersion', 'extending gameplay dynamics', and ...ack i just had a gag reflex kick in for no reason. i'll get back some more vapid catchphrases later...;)

    If the poor bastards are being held in Sweden, it's the least that can be done to raise their esteem!
