ETH Game Programming Laboratory

On Wednesday evening about 300 people gathered in the ETH audi max.
Why? Well, for the final presentation of the ETH game programming laboratory of course! And me and my classmates where right in the middle of it all. This year the ZHdK cooperated with the ETH, allowing the students of both schools to create games together. Our group “Team 5″ has spent quite a lot of time working on our project “Evolution Party”, a cooperative multiplayer game. You can read all about the development process in my earlier posts.

The audience voted for their favorite game, deciding the winner of the audience award. And that was us O_o!
All winners received a goodie bag from Microsoft. Thank you!
After the award ceremony was over, everyone gathered to play the games and get some apéro.
