For Make Something Unreal Live 2013, more than 170 students across 22 teams submitted game pitches that cleverly played on the theme of “Mendelian inheritance: genetics and genomics,” which spans concepts such as variation, mutation and other behaviors of the human genome.

Lucid will be mentoring Team Summit from Abertay University who are one of the four teams to have made it to the final. Team Summit will be developing their title ‘Beings’, which according to PC Games N (http://www.pcgamesn.com/article/make-something-unreal-live-2013-finalists-announced) is ‘an exceptionally cute puzzle platformer in the mold of Pikmin or Kameo’.

Although we won’t be directly ‘hands on’ in the development of the title, we’ll be on hand to offer practical advice and guidance on the development of the game, as well supporting the team when they make their final presentations on stage at the Gadget Show Live at the Birmingham NEC in April 2013.

Follow all of the teams progress via their official facebook page, follow team summit on twitter and facebook.

Travel Bug is an incredibly cute social game that lets you create and customise your own unique bugs, before sending them out on missions around the world.

The app highlights some of the key feature of the PS VITA, such as the near location technology, as well as encouraging users to connect and share photographs of their unique bugs with each other.

Originally developed by a handful of the Lucid development team, Pixel Smash began life as a fun Friday afternoon experiment to come up with an alternative to a traditional christmas card or advent calendar. The game proved to be so much fun in the office that we’ve released it as a full game, and Apple clearly agreed with us as they have it featured in their Christmas section as one of this years’ great Christmas Games.
