This week I gave the following challenge to my prototyping class: make a game in one week that will be publicly released! In this class, students have roughly 10 hours to produce a game every week, but usually they are free to experiment without concern for the audience. This challenge pushes them to understand what it means to release a game to the public. Below you can find links to all the games they produced. — Bennett Foddy, March 16th 2015
