A litany of all-nighters, coffee-IV drips, and top ramen diets has paid off for the students of Vancouver Film School’s Game Design Program. The student body has released their final projects to the public and a panel of industry professionals that just might give them their first jobs. The first of these is Terra, a cel-shaded action platformer, then we have Otherside, a 3D Puzzle Action Platformer, Terminus Station, a harrowing trip through a cursed subway station, and There and Back, a 2D platformer that allows you to switch places with our shadow. All of these games are downloadable from the VFS Website, so head on down and take them for a spin!

With the success of games like Farmville and The Sims Social, it’s only natural that the students at the Vancouver Film School’s Game Design program would want to take a crack at Facebook gaming glory. The game is called Zombie-Kiri, where you play a hoverboard-riding Ninja looking to rescue your friends from a zombie apocalypse while they perform an annoying dance for you. Look, just play the game, okay?
