Pew Research Center reports that 72 percent of teens play video games. It is evident that video games have become a cultural staple, even sparking political and social debate. Dreyfoos is home to many mediums of art, and more recently, students have begun to use computer programs and simple flash games to express their creativity. Many majors enjoy creating video games, as well as releasing them for other students to interact with.

“I have always loved video games, and like most fans of them I had long held the dream of developing my own,” communications senior Erik Ridd said.

Ridd’s idea to design games came from a summer project he was assigned in his Visual Technology 1 class.

“Games usually take large teams of people months to years to create, so the two week time constraint wasn’t ideal,” Ridd said. “However, I was determined to use this as motivation to see the project through.”

Below you can see screenshot animations of Erik’s project, and it is available for download using this Dropbox link.
