UNAgames announces its presence among the nominees for "Drago d'Oro", the Italian award for excellence in the world of video games. Tapsteroids has been nominated in the "Best Independent Italian Videogame" category, where it will be submitted to the judgment of a technical jury and a critics jury.

Last week we have been asked to give a speech to the students of the Politecnico University of Milan which are attending the "Videogame Design & Programming" course held by Prof. Gian Luca Lanzi. Glad of the invitation, we focused the lecture on some tips based on the experience gained during the development of our iOS game Tapsteroids. Below you can see the video of our talk (in italian).

Next Sunday, October 28th, we will attend the Playing the Game event in Milan (Italy). It is a consumer event, part of IF - Immagina il futuro, promoted by "Provincia di Milano" and "Camera di Commercio di Milano". The great thing is the big space that will be given to indies: in addition to UNAgames, you will meet other Italian developers with their great video games. It will be also the opportunity to look at our next update to Tapsteroids!

We are proud to announce that UNAgames is officially an Associate Partner of GALA (Games and Learning Alliance - Network of Excellence for Serious Games).

GALA gathers the cutting-edge European Research and Development organizations on Serious Games. It is a multidisciplinary consortium of 30 partners coming from 13 countries all over the EU that covers a wide range of topical knowledge on research and development in Serious Games. It comprises university, research centers, enterprises, representing a mix of interests and skills involved in the Serious Games development and an effective synergy among research, education and business.

So we face towards a new interesting challenge: developing serious games for mobile platforms!
