create a great indie game
	

to submit it to a competition
	

to make a lot of noise
	

to get it funded (kickstarter?)
	


Prof. Pier Luca Lanzi
Our goal is to create a unique experience for	

students attending classes while doing the project
	

	

We asked several people from game big, small,
	

tiny, companies to be involved in the evaluation
	

	

They will be have access to all your deliverable, 	

they will be involved in the evaluation process
	

	

Gives great visibility to your work!
	

Past year students received coverage from	

TV, Radio, Newspapers, Blogs, etc.
