Play The City @ Linux Info Day 2010

This post would only interest you if you are living in Germany and/or are willing to travel to Augsburg, Bavaria on the 27th of March 2010. Play The City (Link to german page) is an application I’m developing with a few of my fellow students since last semester.
As for the technical side, you may have already guessed or read on my blog post from about half a year ago we are using FreePascal and SDL (and the Elysion Frameworks of course).
The big news is that we are going to show Play The City on the Linux Info Day (german link again) this year. We are probably distributing some Play The City Live-CDs, you can watch and talk with us live and you can try the application for yourself.

I would like to share with you guys what I’ve been doing the last few months and why I didn’t participate in a few competitions like Game Jolt Shocking Contest or Mini LD #10.

It all began two months back on May 20th in school when a few volunteers including me were introduced to the idea of a business game. The goal was to develop a business idea within eight weeks with a seed money of only five euros.
Our idea: An educational game about a city. We choose Augsburg (a nice city in Germany), it was an obvious choice, because we all (our team) are studying at the university of Augsburg.
And on top of all, we won this business game. *YEAH*
