WHAT: GraFighters is a fighting game for all of those characters stuffed in your sketchbooks and on the sides of your class notes. It doesn’t matter if you’re an artist, designer, doodler, kid in a classroom or retired person in Florida. If you have a pencil and an imagination we’ve got an arsenal of characters waiting to be challenged. The team behind graFighters is a small crew from Syracuse, NY. We started building the game, because just like you we love to draw, but have never been able to take our characters beyond our sketchbooks. Our main goal for this version of the game is to get users familiar with the character uploading process (which allows your drawing to be animated) and Cornelius, an algorithm that analyses your characters and determines their strengths, weaknesses, and fighting styles based on how they’ve been drawn.
WHAT: CoCollage creates a community collage. It’s an art gallery, a message board, a slide show - it’s whatever you and the people around you want to share. It’s not just a TV screen; it’s a window into your local community. So whatever users share via Facebook, Twitter and Co. is being displayed on screens in public places.
WHAT: Munchery is an online marketplace for consumers to purchase meals from local chefs. It's like a takeout service, except that the chefs decide what to cook for you based on your taste or you select a pre-arranged menu for the day.
