Starfist
Starfist is a one to four player space shooter made for the Microsoft Surface. For those unfamiliar with the technology, the Surface is a multi-touch interactive table as seen in the video.
Starfist was developed by members of 2pcp (www.2pcp.com) with a development time of just a few weeks. The team was working under a strict deadline to emulate an industry situation. Starfist was the second game made by students to run on the Surface at our University
Developing games for the Surface was very challenging, yet extremely rewarding and fun. The table sits in the middle of our campus at The University of Advancing Technology, and gets a lot of foot traffic. It's unique platform allows for 360 degrees of interactivity, something that designers must keep in mind when creating any software intended to be used on the Surface.
