This years Global Game Jam 2014 had the theme “We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.” Several game developers gathered together at BCTC’s Newtown Campus to work on their games, as well as to showcase those games.
Special thanks to BCTC, Commerce Lexington, and Kentucky Innovation Network.

Get a Clue (Shylo Shepherd, Ben Gold, Tim, Amanda Wallace)

Pink Elephant (Richie Hoagland, Shea, Leonard Wedderburn)
Pink Elephant is an experiment in how player assumptions about games can be used to build a specific experience for the player. Pink elephant hides information such as how decisions will affect the game and when a player decision is being made. Due to time restraints there are only a few decisions that affect the game and these are not balanced throughout the play through. We would like to investigate how to build this decision system out further.
