GCG: 'Student Postmortem: Seas of Europa'

In the latest feature for Gamasutra sister educational site Game Career Guide, Ryan Stancl presents an in-depth postmortem for innovative student title Seas of Europa. The title "is a third-person action-adventure game set under the ice sheets of Jupiter's moon, Europa", and Ryan explains of the game: "[Seas Of Europa] is a fully functional 15-minute long underwater game created by doing a near-complete conversion of the Unreal engine on a 12-week production cycle with a team of four. The game follows the adventures of Inu (E-nu), an alien creature that is destined to be the hero of the seas. See, the waters of Europa are changing; for better or worse, the creatures are mutating, and Inu just happens to be one of them that mutates for the better. He's born with a tentacle on his head and the ability to grab creatures and fling them around. Inu - and the player - are charged with clearing the seas of enemies that are hogging the life-giving heating vents."
