GameCon
This year at GameCon it took place on April 9th, 2013, from 10am to 5pm. The GameCon this year was held in the UB and ERC buildings. The second and third year students were in the UB building while the first year and fourth year students were in the ERC building.
This year at GameCon also had a few problems. One of the problems this year had was the amount of space. It was hard to wonder around with many game dev. students, profs., visitors, and other students just walking around. There was also a similar problem from last year's GameCon and this year's GameCon. Last year there were not enough outlets for a couple of student's laptop; making some students share an outlet once in a while. This year there were enough outlets, but the power outlets were not working; resulting in students not having enough battery for their laptops to sustain.
This year I was glad I had a much better team. Not only did we win the best tech. award, I was able to wonder around and look at the other groups' games. Last year I was unable to wonder around a lot due to the fact that half my group never bother showing up to GameCon despite it being a mandatory event.
I was really surprised by this year's games that were created. A lot of the first year games were really well done especially the game "BITS", which was a four-person multi-player game like Super Smash Bros. I was also really impressed that the third year game "Red Dawn" won three awards.
Overall I think this was a really successful year in terms of the games that were produced by the students.
