In the Lab 4 news - Oswald

Oswald

Sleepless Game Studios | TBD

Oswald is a 2D side scrolling action-adventure platformer set in a surreal spooky underground world that challenges players to triumph over simple to intense platforming puzzles by swinging on a Needle and Thread that will bend and wrap around the environment. Oswald's core gameplay is movement, you can climb up almost any wall, shoot the Needle and Thread into almost any surface to swing across giant chasms, and dash down steep corridors avoiding the various objects rushing towards you and crushing down on you. Keep on moving, never stop swinging, leaping, and climbing, or the evil shadows of the cave will overrun you!

It's Saturday night and you're... In the Lab!

What's going on this week with the Oswald team? Let's take a look into the progress we've made since last Saturday.

This is a very special edition of In the Lab. Rather than talk about what we've done this week (we'll have a post in a few days about all that good stuff), this episode will be about our upcoming event.

Sleepless Game Studios presents Indie3: Oswald!

Every three months the video game students at the Art Institute of Vancouver presents the current game production workshop (GPW) project. Last semester we successfully presented our previous game Catacomb. This semester however, because there is no scheduled GPW project, we will be presenting our current project Oswald.

Highlights of the event will include playable versions of past GPW projects such as Catacomb, Insomnium, Dawn of Cimmeria, a showing of the schools current animation project Canela, an Industry panel featuring Finger Food Studios president Trent Shumay, Eden Industries founder Ryan Vandendyck, Marketing Asset Coordinator at Electronic Arts Duncan Campbell, and Co-founder/VP Product & Creative at Vivity Labs Mark Baxter (moderator), prizes, food, and of course, Oswald.

So if you're in the Vancouver area on Friday June 08 from 5:30 - 9:30, come on down to the Art Institute of Vancouver (2665 Renfrew St, Vancouver )and enjoy the action, play some great games, and maybe even win a prize or two.
