The Judgement Day

After so much of hard work for more than a month, everyone was waiting for the decision. We wanted to know which were the games that got selected. We came to the lab at 9 in the morning. Our EPs (Professors) wanted to make sure that they were on the same page. So they were LATE :P. We all wanted to relieve our pressure. What could help more than a game of League of Legends? So all of us started a game of league.

After a while, Roger, Bob, Mark and Craig arrived. We all sat in the presentation area and all of them started talking about how they felt about the pitches and all the games. They said that they spent hours talking about the games and finally they revealed that two games out of the four presented, were gonna go ahead. After that they asked each team about the responses of the industry panel about their game and what exactly each team felt about that.

Now was the time for the big announcement. The two games that got selected were VINYL and THE CO-SIGNERS. It was a happy moment for me. I wanted to jump in the air but at the same time, I was feeling bad for the other games that could not make it. Everyone in the cohort did an fantastic job of creating an awesome prototype and putting forward some awesome pitches but unfortunately, only two games were gonna go ahead.

After this announcement, they told us that everyone in the cohort can choose whichever team they want to join and we were given time till Tuesday for making the decision. Most of the team was pretty much decided on the same day itself.

Now our new team for THE CO-SIGNERS includes me, Chris, Max, Nikhil, Kiran, Sagar, Saurabh, Aaradhya and Yang as Engineers, AJ, Andrew, Zac and Jake as Producers and Damean as our Artist :).

I am very excited to see people playing this game when we complete it. Right now, we are finalizing the details and we are gonna complete an Alpha version of the game till the end of this semester. Hard work ahead. Hope it pays off :D.
