Researcher from ICAD/VisionLab wins a prize at in SBGames2020’s Arts Festival

In November we had the joy of having a member of our team, Felipe Holanda Bezerra, winning 1st place at SBGames 2020 for his marvelous sound design work at “Rythenia”, a project in which he is also the main developer and researcher.

The game is a driver from the tech developed for Felipe’s graduation project, which is still in early stages of development, but already has an unique soundtrack that showcases greatly the game’s identity!

Shape Arena is a success among family games on Steam

Some of the best experiences you can have as a game developer is watching people having fun playing something you created!

We had this opportunity with the launch of our first game on the Steam store: Shape Arena! Since then we’ve had incredible experiences reading players feedback and watching videos like the one below, with a family playing and having fun together!

 

 

Shape Arena’s launch was on August 3rd of this year and is available for free on our Steam page.
