Hoseo University Game Software Department Wins Award at Indie Game Competition

The Department of Game Software at Hoseo University in Asan, Chungnam, has won several awards at indie game competitions.

According to the university on the 22nd, Team Project Alpha received the Encouragement Award at the "2024 Chungcheong Region Game Indie U" competition, hosted by the Chungnam Information and Culture Industry Promotion Agency. The team overcame the challenges of the difficult sci-fi genre and was recognized for the quality of their work through an excellent theme and storyline.

Team Snake Eagle received the Creators' Voice Award at "G-STAR 2024," hosted by the G-STAR Organizing Committee and the Busan IT Industry Promotion Agency. This award is considered difficult to receive even for professional game developers, and the recognition demonstrates both the artistic value and commercial potential of their game.

Professor Kim Jaebeom, the supervising professor, said, "Starting this year, our department has introduced a crew system that allows students with similar interests to develop various games and participate in competitions together. Students are able to prove their abilities with the games they develop, creating a virtuous cycle that leads to employment and entrepreneurship."
