A team from Savannah College of Art and Design’s game design program won first place the Electronic Entertainment Expo’s (E3) 2014 College Game Competition, created by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA). The student’s video game, “Prisma,” was selected by a blue-ribbon panel of industry experts as the best university submission.
The student winners include:
• Kyle J. Bolton, B.F.A., interactive design and game development, 2013
• Alex Méndez, B.F.A. interactive design and game development student
• Khoa D. Nguyen, B.FA., interactive design and game development, 2013

The game was created in professor Tony Tseng’s senior studio class at SCAD Atlanta. The students worked in teams to design and develop the original game concept from scratch. “Prisma” follows a girl named Ray as she journeys through different color-coded dimensions. The challenging 2.5D platformer game evolved over nine months.
E3 is the world’s premiere trade show for computer and video games and related products.
