–A group of college students, including 2013 Paso Robles High School graduate Joseph Brown, recently won an award for the best college video game.
The video game developers at Drexel University won the 2019 E3 College Game Competition beating out more than 400 other submissions.
Jeff Mostyn (Team Lead, Lead Programmer, Design), Mark Hurley (3D Generalist, Design Lead), Michael Heffner (Programmer) and Joseph Brown (UX and Game Designer) created a game called “Sons of Ra.”
It’s a two-player tower defense strategy combat game where warring factions in Egypt compete to become Pharaoh.
The competition recognizes the best in college and university game design, giving finalists the opportunity to show their games on the E3 show floor alongside Nintendo, Epic, Ubisoft, Capcom, Take Two Interactive, Bethesda Softworks, and more.
