The game design work samples differ from the other. As a game designer you will do two specific tasks. The first task is for you to analyse a game of your choice. The second part is the creation of an idea. You will create one unique idea on a given theme and document it. This years theme is "By the pond in the great forest, where the creature lives".

The work samples shall be sent in on a CD or a DVD. Categorize your files in folders and only use common file formats. We will not search for or install specific programs to view or execute your files. Make sure that the CD or DVD works by testing it in another computer than yours.
As a complement to your work samples please send the address to your homepage if you have one.
