Burnley College Students Publish Their First Game: 'Doing Time'

In this episode of the North West Aerospace Alliance News, Emma and Daniel explore the journey of Burnley College students who developed and published their game 'Doing Time'. The game, featuring time loops, puzzles, and escape-based action, was developed as part of a project led by Unseen Galaxy on itch.io. The students worked after class each week, culminating in a publishing deal with a former designer from the best-selling Lego games series. The project provided a 360-degree industry experience, with students managing art, gameplay, programming, and marketing. Chris Haythornthwaite, Programme Lead at Burnley College, praised the students' achievement. Unseen Galaxy, founded by Stephen Hey, a veteran of the gaming industry, aims to develop talent and highlight career opportunities in gaming. Burnley College, the top college in England since 2018, continues to provide real-world experience and opportunities for its students.
