Student Designed Game on Display at International Games Day in Chicago

Dark is the Night is published by Ape Games and the brainchild of game design majors Zachary Abbott (Park Forest, IL - Rich East High School), Arwen Boyer (Morton, IL -  Morton High School), and Joshua Estill (Miami, Florida - Felix Varela Senior High School). They designed the game as a class project in their sophomore year. Now seniors, their game is catching the attention of gamers everywhere.

 

For International Games Day, more than a thousand libraries all around the world celebrate play. The Bradley students will demonstrate Dark is the Night to hundreds who visit at the Chicago Public Library: Harold Washington Library Center (400 South State Street Chicago) on Saturday, November 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

 

Registration is required to attend Chicago's International Games Day convention.  Dark is the Night can be found on Amazon at http://a.co/akqRCLk and the APE Games website at http://www.apegames.com/portfolio/dark-is-the-night/. 

 

This is the second Bradley University student designed game to gain international attention this year. A senior game design capstone team created a video game called "Starcats". It placed in the top 5 of the E3 Collegiate Competition, sponsored by the Entertainment Software Association.  The team was invited to LA for the E3 convention in June to exhibit and share the game with thousands of attendees from around the world.
