Through to the finals

As many of you know, I'm getting ready to graduate digital media school this spring, which explains the lack of updates recently. I've been swamped with final projects, portfolio preparation, and assuring that a million little bits of necessary work don't fall through the cracks.

But this post isn't about all that! I am formally introducing Bloom Studios, a team of four passionate design students dedicated to creating engaging and globally relevant games.

Our work on SPERO, a colorful adventure game with environmentally-friendly content, has led us to the national finals of the Microsoft Imagine Cup! The finals will take place in Seattle, Washington on April 9 and will feature twelve of the best teams of game design students in the country. We're going to do all we can to go to Seattle and bring home the number one prize!


If you're a fan of Prophecy, World's Dawn, or you just feel like supporting a member of the indie/RM community, I could use your help! Voting for the "People's Choice Award" is going on now, and you can vote for us with the click of a button on our Facebook support page or by texting BLOOM to 23000 (standard rates apply). We're neck and neck with the second place team, so every vote counts! I truly appreciate it.

Stay tuned here and at the main site for updates about Bloom Studios and the Imagine Cup. Meanwhile, my graduation is creeping nearer and I'm hoping to have more time to work on World's Dawn after that milestone.

Thanks for all your support! Until next time...
