Container Masters has been awarded with the Best in Class Award of the UAS Technikum!

Together with our teammates Sebastian Hofer and Lukas Weiss, we presented our game to a panel of experts.
The experts played all games and assigned points in different categories for each game.
Five great games have been presented in total, in the end the voting was pretty close with Container Masters winning!
Our game was especially praised for its presentation, being perfectly tuned, optical appealing and with a clear UI.

The price is to showcase Container Masters at the largest gaming event in the world, the Gamescom in Cologne!

All games were great, so we want to display them here.

The second place was Recursio, a 1 on 1 top-down twin stick shooter with a time loop, so you can have the best teammate in the world: yourself!

The third place got to Pizza Arena, a fun comparative Cook’n’Slash game where you have to hunt the ingredients before you can process it to delicious pizza.

Get it on Steam now!

Next was the multiplayer roguelike Rogue Together, where you have to climb up Yggdrasil together and fight mighty enemies.

You can download the game on itch.io!

Then there was Complementary, a minimalistic 2D Jump’n’Run game with many levels using its own game engine.

The game can be downloaded on itch.io!

You can read more about the event on the UAS website.

A big thank you to our two teammates Sebastian Hofer and Lukas Weiss and of course our mentor Julian Breddy.
Now we look forward to showcasing Container Masters at the Gamescom in August!

We attended the Game Dev Days 2019 and presented our game LabDay!
The event was really great and well organized, even tough we missed the talks due to our booth.

Here are some impressions of the GDDG and our booth – we are already excited for next year.

Mess in Peace

In the course „Active Sport Games“ we learned to use the Microsoft Kinect for games.
The Kinect is a cool device for sport games and every game that encourages the player to move.
We wanted to create a game that plays a little bit like Eye Toy for the PlayStation 2, so we created together with Tobias Klesel Mess in Peace!

Story

After your grandmother died you inherit her house. You haven’t seen it for some time, so you take a look at it right now.
Ooooohhh, it is really a mess here! Tons of useless things lie here, so many flies fly around and the tables are really dirty.
You don’t want to live here, but you can’t sell it like that!
So start to clean the house, the cleaner it gets the higher is the selling price.

Gameplay

Each room has to be cleaned. Start by clapping these annoying flies around here.
Every fly you clap leaves a dirty mark on the table, so you have to clean the table afterwards.
Then you have to punch all the things away that fall directly at your head.
You play the game directly with your body, simply with the Kinect.

If you want to see more of the game, here is a trailer!

Conclusio

It was funny to develop a game for the Kinect. Sometimes frustrating, because it is a buggy, but fun anyways.
While developing, you have to to move yourself, else you can’t test your game!
Microsoft itself has stopped to update the Kinect SDK, so we had to use an old version of Unity. That was sometimes a problem, because different Unity versions aren’t alway compatible!
We won’t upload the game here because the target group for players with a Kinect connected to their PC is like 0.0001%.

Let the cleaning beginn!
