Discussion forums contain all the key IGIA10 updates.

Comment by Kjartan Akil Jónsson on November 6, 2009 at 5:25pm: Is there anyone that is interested in joining our group.

This is one of the games that we have been working on and thinking of submitting to IGIA10
"The Fly on the Wall", http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-ZFQ6Lj0UI
You can look at the YouTube video of the game concept.

Anyone interested in game development is welcome to join : )
