  <title><![CDATA[Georgia Tech Students Earn 1st Place Honors for Video Game]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>A team of Georgia Tech students recently took first place at
the <a href="http://www.siegecon.net/SIEGE2011/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=category&amp;layout=blog&amp;id=102&amp;Itemid=100">2011
Southern Interactive Entertainment &amp; Game Expo (SIEGE) Student Showcase</a>
for developing and presenting an independent video game. <em>Vision by Proxy: Second Edition</em> has garnered more than two million
plays since its release in mid-August.&nbsp; </p>

<p>The winning team is comprised of Digital Media Master’s students
Andrew Ho, Chris DeLeon and Christine Wu, as well as Rose Peng (Computational
Media 2010). The first edition of the game was developed during fall 2009 under
the guidance of Celia Pearce, assistant professor in digital media in the
School of Literature, Communication, and Culture.&nbsp; 

</p><p>As described <a href="http://www.digitallounge.gatech.edu/gaming/index.html?nid=58070">last
year</a> in the Digital Lounge, <em>Vision by
Proxy</em> features a one-eyed alien who crashes his spaceship on Earth. He must
collect eyes from humans in order to see the world in a completely new way. As
eyes are collected, the game unveils new visuals and different perspectives. 

</p><p>Click <a href="http://visionbyproxy.com/">here</a> to play <em>Vision by Proxy: Second Edition</em> for
free. 

</p><p>Another Georgia Tech team won third place honors for <em>Gravigo</em>. The team consisted of Computational
Media students Kelly Snyder and Ken Hartsook and Computational Science students
AJ Kolnec and Robert Grosse.

</p><p>SIEGE is an annual trade show hosted by the <a href="http://www.ggda.org/">Georgia Game Developers Association</a>. The
Georgia Tech teams competed against student groups from Savannah College of Art and Design, Southern
Polytechnic, Georgia State and the Art Institute of Atlanta.</p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
