ECGC event, contest, and more!

ECGC Event

Wow. ECGC was quite the run. The amount of interest and excitement our booth created was astonishing and I can't believe that actually happened.

The first day of ECGC we were only open for 3 hours, in which we had 18 people as well as the beginning of the competition. With the interest we saw, we went home EXHAUSTED from ECGC, just from the energy our game had created. There were many people that participated in our Frog Token Worlds leaderboard, which had a scrolling leaderboard as well as a bronze, silver, and gold Frog Token Trophy for the top 3 to take home.

We added MORE levels through out the competition to keep the heat going between competitors and it ended up being a lot more fun for them because of it. We started with 4 available worlds for the player to experience, and ended with 6 in that 3 day period.

The ECGC Student Showcase

There were plenty of games that were plenty of fun, and truth behold, our original release for the game had very difficult level high score requirements. There were plenty of new player experience flaws that I didn't realize, but despite all that, our game surprisingly won!

The other games were seriously really close! We only won by 0.1 of a rating, which really shows the potential the other games had. There has been a lot of lessons with our game that had been learned, and this would not have been possible with out the dedication our team collectively has. 

What to expect from Frog Token Worlds in the future?

Production of the game will be temporarily on hold, but the way the game is made, more levels and weapons can be added easily, so it is far from over for us! We hope to be able to bring the game to mobile app stores, for iOS and Android, and potentially for Steam to be enjoyed on the Steam Deck. We want to deliver an entertaining arcade game that people can compete against others, which is something that the game has plenty of potential for!

Thanks to the WTCC Game Development Club advisors for their guidance through making decisions and giving me the platform to create a group that was able to deliver a fun experience for over 50 players on the leaderboard. I look forward to my future as a game developer and creating games that makes enjoyable experiences and even memories for the players!
