After almost 10 weeks of development we can proudly say that Yo is finally finished. On May 12th we gave our presentation explaining all the details of the game during Spring 2009 DemoDay at USC.

So, how do I play Yo ?

• Log in using your Facebook account.
• Personalize your avatar and your thoughts.
• Your thoughts will become a platform level that any other player can beat worldwide.
• Play against your Facebook friends or against any other Yo player.
• Beat the platform level created from the other person’s thoughts and you can change his/her thoughts!
• Improve your ranking.

I want to thank all our team for their hard work : Ruben Farrus, Bjarni Arnason, Eduardo Cuevas and Andrea Chang.

The semester is finally over and as usual, USC hosted the event called Demo Day. Demo Day for the USC GamePipe Laboratory is when the students show off their games to the industry.

In my case, I was part of the team behind “Us Versus Them”,  an online game experience straight out of the 1950. As a lead network engineer my work was to manage a team of network engineers in order to deliver the game on time. The experience was great, the whole team learnt a lot, and we can not wait to see the public beta of “Us Versus Them” soon.

All told, I want to thanks the whole team for their huge effort, congratulations and, once again, thanks!

Video soon.
