A 15-person student development team from DePaul University has released a PC game inspired by artist M.C. Escher.
Created over five months by members of [URL=http://gamedev.depaul.edu/]DePaul’s Game Dev program[/URL], Devil’s Tuning Fork utilizes sound visualization as a means to guide players through interactive environments, echoing perception techniques used by dolphins and bats.
The student developers were assisted by a group of advisors, led by former Bungie Software President, and DePaul “game designer in residence” Alex Seropian. Other advisors included ex-Midway Games Senior Producer Bill Muehl.
Devil’s Tuning Fork is one of 192 entries in the [URL=http://www.igf.com/php-bin/entries2010_student.php]2010 Independent Games Festival Student Competition[/URL]. The full title can be downloaded at no charge [URL=http://devilstuningfork.com/]from the game’s website[/URL].
