The interview with STG went well, I think. I interviewed with a super nice PR guy named Colby Christensen, who even picked me up from downtown after I'd gotten the address wrong. STG seems amazing, they shift employees through various 8 month projects, and pay you to learn in your off-time, where you get to work on any technology-related thing you want. I really hope they call me back, it sounds like the perfect job for me.
Last week Cyber Heist was nominated for an award at the Serious Games showcase in Orlando. I'd submitted it a month earlier and was quite surprised that we won. requirements of entries included things like what behaviors or information are we trying to convey to the user and what metrics we were using to keep track of their progress. Cyber Heist is a pretty excellent game in that it encourages players to communicate with each other and learn to work as a team in an environment with different roles, so I spoke to that in the application.
One of our teammates apparently had some inside information on the judging at the Serious Games Showcase, and said that our game was a smash hit and getting played by all the judges, not just the judges who were assigned to play our game. I would be very surprised if we end up winning a competition that we absolutely had no intention of designing for, but it looks like AJ is going to represent the team by in-part representing EAE as well. Hope things turn out well.
