IGDA 48 hour Games Competition 2008 Articles

The last 24 hours have been very VERY eventful. We have suffered loss, joy, pain and there is some very tired people here. With only one area to sleep in and limited mattresses, some people choose their chairs or keyboards to crash out on. Others, like myself, have opted for no sleep.
As the hours pass it is still easy to stay focused but troubles have been brewing. Our code has been re-written a few times, we have had animation troubles and my trusty laptop has decided to get sick, pick up a virus and retire from competition.

It's Day 1 here at the IGDA 48 hour games competiton. It's been about 8 hours since we have been given our three key words. I must admit that on hearing the key words, I was surprised at how different they each are. The three magical words that will determine our games are: Watermelon, astronaut and summertime.
It's hard to think how a game could be made from those words, but as soon as we heard them all the teams went to work. Some teams pitched in an idea together, some teams broke down the concepts, others (like mine) decided to come up with our own ideas, pitch them to the rest of the team and combine them.
