Once again we’re talking about the final year team project games… only 1 this week. We’re joined by the lead designer David and programmer Sonny to discuss Wibble Wobble Wabble, a multiplayer network game where you grab melee and ranged weapons and try to dispatch the other players, with a comedy twist on the player movement! As you’ll see, it’s lot of fun, we only wish it lasted longer.

Join us every Wednesday at 3pm on twitch.tv/hudunigames to interact live with the team or watch anytime on youtube.com/hudunigames

So we’re going to spend a few weeks looking through the team project submissions from final year students. Here the team, joined by some of the students, talking about, and playing, 2 of the games. There are 6 in total so there’ll be more to see in the coming weeks.

Also, see our live reaction to the announcement of Unreal Engine 5 and our news of Flux8 preorders being live for Nintendo Switch!

This week the team look at some of the work being submitted this year for the Advanced 3D final year module.

This week we take a look at some of the student support services available, both under “normal” circumstances and also in these weird times we all find ourselves. We start with a little game though 🙂

This week, Duke and Matt invited 3 of the 8 members of Canalside Studios, our inhouse games development studio, to tell us about their latest title. We spend the first half hour talking about the studio, it’s history and the games made over the last 14 years. The final hour is all about Mira’s Tale, the game from this year…. we also get to see Duke being abysmal at game playing… oh dear.

You can put Mira’s Tale in your steam wishlist

Similar to last week, the team chat about classic games from the 90’s… join us…

This week, the team (or at least the ones old enough to remember it!) talk about classic games from the 80’s and how the games we loved as kids shaped our careers. Mick also worked on games in the late 80’s and we revisit his work from that time briefly.

Join us again next week for the 90’s and the week after for the 00’s!
