 The competition was designed to allow student participants to exercise their creative talents to develop a 3D game using the Unity 3D game engine. Participants formed teams of 3 members to compete in the competition. There were two rounds in this competition – a Qualifying Round and a Final Round. During the Qualifying Round, the participating group submitted a game level design document. In the Final Round, the teams used the Unity 3D game engine to develop their games.

We are proud to say that the participants were motivated and passionate in game creation, as can be seen in the sweet fruits of their labour. Our heartiest congratulations to all of you participants!
