As mentioned in an earlier blog post, I have been busy outside of university working on a game called OIL with the aim of releasing it before graduation. This week was a big week for OIL, I attended the Pocket Gamer Connects conference in London where we were taking part in the Very Big Indie Pitch (which we got 2^nd place in!). In addition to this we had meetings all week with various people, such as Amazon and Apple. Furthermore we were very fortunate to have a playtest session with UsTwo games (Monument Valley), who spent time with us playing OIL and giving us feedback.

Unfortunately, this meant that I didn’t have access to a powerful pc and had very little time to myself so was unable to do any meaningful work on my simulation. I had a little think about potential new solutions, but didn’t come up with anything actionable.
