Cash-strapped Student Creates Mobile App That Could Prevent Europe's Destruction
NEWCASTLE, England, September 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
Summary
A cash-strapped student studying in the North East of England has created and published a humorous mobile app for iPad and iPhone that could prevent the 'Euro Destruction' . The quirky app is the first of its kind created by a novice games designer. It encourages its users to play their way through current financial and political scenarios that culminate in the end of Europe as we know it.
A cash-strapped student from the North East of England has managed to build and publish his own game for iPad and iPhone. Georgij Cernysiov, a student on the Train2Game blended learning course has achieved what many budding games designers dream of. He has managed to get his iphone game published without the support of a large development team or deep pockets. The humorous game, aptly titled 'Euro Destruction' was designed and built in less than a month using virtually no art or programming skills.
Using the ipad and iphone game development software, Thinking Worlds, which is free to download and use, Georgij was able to add a fun twist to a worrying tale and turn the current plight of the Eurozone into a fun app that is available to download for free from Apple's App Store.
In the game, users must decide the fate of Europe by deciding who to throw money at; the 'Bankers' or the 'Citizens' or, if they can't decide in time get lost in the process.
Despite having very little cash or extensive programming knowledge, Georgij's creativity and the tools he used to create the game made the process accessible to him and he was able to create a downloadable game that was fun, original and has already started getting downloads from the App Store.
When asked about the idea behind the game, Georgij said he wanted to "try and create a game that touched on some of the current issues within Europe without bogging people down with too much economics or politics."
Georgij's achievement marks another positive outcome facilitated by the Train2Game course and free to use game development software, Thinking Worlds.
