Never a dull moment with either Terry or Ayesha. Our program is lucky to have them!
Never a dull moment with Terry Smith. Today I had Terry come over and talk to grad students @UCSCGame about games, art but most of all his 30+ years of life experiences in game industry. @ucsc.

Next up is "Last Call", by Jonathan Leland. Test your bartending skills in this zombie VR rhythm game. Take orders, craft and serve as many drinks as you can. No pressure, but these can be some angry customers. Shake and stir as if your life depends on it, because it does!

"Lunaculture", by Cassidy Landers, is a terraforming strategy game that pits your eco-skills against the forces of nature. Plant vegetation to restore the planet's ecosystem, which has been disastrously knocked off kilter. Choose wisely - the planet's future hangs in the balance!
