De senaste veckorna har två av Sveriges mest prestigefyllda tävlingar för spelutvecklande studenter i Sverige avslutas med finaler och prisutdelningar, Gotland Game Awards (GGA) och Swedish Game Awards (SGA). Som en passionerad XNA-utvecklare så är jag naturligtvis otroligt glad över de framgångar som flera lag har haft med hjälp av just XNA. Det gör också att jag ser fram emot fortsatta bidrag till tävlingar samt ännu fler coola spel på Xbox Live och Windows Phonen 7 framöver. Här är några av bidragen som vunnit kategorier i tävlingarna:
SGA Game of the Year 2010, samt GGA Pwnage Award – Dwarfs
“Dwarfs” is an arcade/strategy game set deep underground. The goal of the game is to explore a randomly generated playfield as much as possible, while at the same time protecting your Town Hall from harm. The top-down tiled based playfield contains random dungeons which you must explore. Dungeons are usually neutral or friendly, but may also contain threats such as water, lava or hostile creatures. Each of these threats must be dealt with accordingly – and swiftly!

GGA The Award for Human Rights – Pawns
Pawns is a 2D scrolling co-op game for two players. You and a friend combine awesome powers to defeat the human invasion.
The main focus for Pawns is to create a co-op game where the players never work against each other, just pure co-op.
While running and jumping you use your given powers, like creating a strong wind, ice or healing, to overcome obstacles like enemies, walls or even giant wood-chopping machines.

GGA Best XNA Game – Abzolium
“Abzolium is a multiplayer real time action game for the Xbox 360. The major factor in your survival and fighting capacity is your HP. Every risk becomes greater with a small amount of health.
The arena has got certain spots on which the players can absorb energy and use against other players. These spots tend to become areas of which battles takes place. Since players would want the energy for themselves, it’s therefore a risk in itself trying to obtain the energy due to the competition.”
