Support NeoGAF

[Bukana]

ate last year, Grasshopper Manufacture announced that it was teaming up with a number of game development schools in Japan for the Game Campus Festa program. Grashopper would supply the schools with PlayStation Vita development kits, and teams at the school would make games for the system. All of this would be coordinated on Sony's then newly opened Play Commu community site.

Today, Grasshopper provided a first look at the the student projects. These projects will be judged by Grasshopper, and some may end up being distributed to the masses via PSN.

You'll find textual details about the game at the program's Play Commu space. (To enter the site, you need to confirm that you're 18 and up. Click the left button if you are). If I get a chance, I'll add some details below later in the day.

Ugh, why are the pics aren't showing !?

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

Ugh, why are the pics aren't showing !?

Because they need rehosting.

WTF is going on in Octalide?

 

[Jinfash]

Ugh, why are the pics aren't showing !?

Because the game switched platforms. GASP!

 

[Bukana]

Because they need rehosting.

I give up,

Some interesting projects, but I see two projects look the same, looks like one group cheated, lol.

 

[prwxv3]

I might buy these if they are cheap.

Is this stuff PS Suite material or is it done with full access to the hardware?

Sony really needs to coax indie developers need to get on this thing.

Sony really needs to coax indie developers need to get on this thing.

Dev kit costs are reportedly the lowest in Sony history, and Sony's been known to just give people them.

Though, it seems Suite will be the major push for indies since I imagine it'll be more attractive to sell to multiple hardware units than a singular device.

None look very appealing but programs like this are good. Don't think it's the first time Sony does that either, there were students projects on Sony platforms in previous years' CESA awards iirc, even through the PS2 era, though that was probably more for a chance to get hired than to distribute the game as is due to the lack of a PSN etc...
