48hr Game Making Challenge

Black Wolf Games are coming up from Wollongong and want to say special thanks to Willy Susilo – Head of School of Computer Science and Software Engineering (SCSSE) and Casey Chow – Lecturer University of Wollongong. With out these two people I don’t think this years team would be going to the competition.

Tis a case of “the queen and us …” which one of us do YOU follow?
