Student game project just released on Steam

Jan 1, 2025 8:32 PM

Happy New Year everyone!

I'm excited to announce that the student game project I've been working on over this recent fall term is finally available on Steam. The game is called Virion, and I worked with eleven other students over four months to take the game from initial concept to Steam release. I contributed and implemented sound design and music for this project while also working as a producer to keep the team working efficiently by maintaining project documentation, troubleshooting blocking issues, and doing my best to enable my classmates to give their best efforts throughout the term. I humbly invite you experience our work and provide feedback. I hope you enjoy it.

Where does the money go?

It's a student project, so we're not charging for it; It's free.

Correct. We picked the name without doing a lot of investigation as to how unique it would be, but considering that the two games are wildly different we didn't think it was a big problem, especially since we were pretty far along in development when we discovered the other game.

Wouldn't part of the school project include checking for that problem?

Ideally, yes, but in this case we didn't really have time to do an extensive review of the market before picking a type of game to make and its name.
