AmsterdamCampusNews Fairwell, the game +++ SAE Institute Amsterdam becomes the Testlab +++ André Ettema joins SAE Institute Amsterdam +++ Fairwell game development project by Fairwell game development project by Qantm College Amsterdam students n The origins of the Fairwell project began over one and a half years ago at Qantm CollegeAmster- dam. After a series of meetings, the student game development team came up with a suitable idea to work on. The game concept is a survival adventure taking place at a cursed carnival, where Isaac, the main character, is on a quest for answers regard- ing the disappearance of his parents. The Interactive Animation diploma students initially started with a team of 12 students. The students were given only 3 months to deliver a working game. The whole pre-production was done during the winter holidays, making it quite difficult to keep up with the deadlines. In the end, the students man- aged to meet the deadlines, even working on the Game Design document during Christmas. That’s what we call dedication. Even students from the audio department took part in the game project by adding recorded sound effects and exclusive tracks matching the atmosphere of the game. During the second stage of development, a selected group of degree students continued with the further devel- opment of the game by adding levels and fine-tun- ing the game play. After months of hard work, the project is getting close to completion. Everybody is looking forward to try out the final draft of the game! Stay tuned. n 187 SAE & SAE ALUMNI NEWS // EUROPEAN NEWS Index
