Overview
Each year we have a secret theme the games are to be designed about - (2022 - Sharks, 2023 - Butterflies, 2024 - Anime). This year will be no different, but we do have a new twist!
In addition to having each group present their team's game idea, we will also be including a special prize for the best individual graphic design.
The Video Game Design Challenge will be just as much focused on the overall concept of the game, as well as how it is presented.
