The criteria I’ll be focusing on will be Visuals, Best Student Game or Nuovo Award, jurors who think differently about games as a medium, considered that I’m confident with it since I have a scope. Getting a credit in this competition would be quite an asset for my portfolio since many famous indie game developers joined this competition. Moreover, it will enhance my experience as a future game designer and might also identify my weakness during the development of my entry for this competition.
