(For a list of Dutch entries in the IGF Student competition: scroll down)
Another record number of entries for the Independent Games Festival (IGF) 2012’s Student Competition.
Happy to see so many and diverse entries from universities and game programs from across the globe! Next to many familiar USA & European universities, I spotted a couple of other (less expected?) countries in the list: among them: Ghana, Brazil, Russia, Taiwan, India, Game development truly becomes a global phenomenon.
When working at Dutch Game Garden I got in touch with a bunch of people working at Kyushu University (Fukuoka, Japan). So great to see their entries popping up on the list: Kulkul and LabRat.
::Dutch Entries IGF 2012 Student Competition::
The IGF Main Competition saw many Dutch entries this year. Today the IGF revealed the entries for the Student Competition. On the introduction page they refer to one of the Dutch Student entries: Fingle (HKU) and also mention IGF 2007 nominee de Blob (HKU).
Like with the main competition I went through the IGF entrants list and picked out the Dutch entries, to put it into a neat list for future reference. Find it below! I got to ten Dutch student entries. The majority of submitted games come from the Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU), that has one of the oldest game development programs around in The Netherlands. Hoping to see many more IGF entries from different schools and universities in The Netherlands next year! Twenty eight student projects were submitted to the Dutch Game Awards this year for Best Student Game and together with for example INDIGO (showcase) and Global Game Jam NL it shows the talent is around.
