THE CONSTRUCTORS AND CONSTRUCTORS OF WORLDS ARE MEASURING THEMSELVES IN A BATTLE
TO FINALLY SETTLE THE DISPUTE OVER WHERE WORLDS AND CIVILIZATIONS THAT HAVE REACHED
THE HIGHEST PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT EXIST. AFTER ALL, ANY CIVILIZATION ENCOUNTERED CAN
CLAIM TO BE NFR, BECAUSE WITHOUT TRAVELING IT HAS NO CHANCE TO CONFRONT ITS
ACHIEVEMENTS WITH OTHERS.
THAT’S WHY WE ORDERED THE ORGANIZATION OF THE CYBERIADA – A DIGITAL WORLD-CREATION
COMPETITION, IN WHICH THE BEST CONSTRUCTOR TEAMS SET OUT ON EXPEDITIONS THAT ALLOW US
TO JUDGE WHO HAS REALISTICALLY REACHED THE HIGHEST PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT.
CONSTRUCTORS AND CONSTRUCTORS WORK INTENSIVELY, FIGHTING BATTLES WITH OTHER TEAMS,
SOLVING PUZZLES AND OVERCOMING OBSTACLES ON THEIR WAY TO THE GOAL.
THE ROAD THEY EMBARK ON ALLOWS THEM TO MEET MANY GUIDES WHO
HELP THEM REACH THEIR DESIRED GOA, AND THE EXPERIENCE THEY GAIN
OPENS THE DOOR TO A PROFESSIONAL CONSTRUCTION CAREER.
WE HAD SET THE BAR EVEN HIGHER FOR ACADEMIC STUDENTS. ALREADY AT THE START, THEY FACED
A 24-HOUR GAME JAM, WHICH DETERMINED THEIR FURTHER PARTICIPATION IN CYBERIAD. THE
QUALIFIED TEAMS CREATED THEIR OWN PRODUCTION THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, AND THE DEMANDING
JURY EXPRESSED THEIR OPINIONS
.
THE PARTICIPANTS ACCEPTED COMMENTS AND MADE CORRECTIONS ON AN ONGOING BASIS TO
FINALLY BE ABLE TO FINISH EVERYTHING AND CLIP THEIR PROJECTS ON THE TIE. THANKS TO THIS,
WE WERE SURE THAT THEIR WORK WAS NOT IN VAIN, AND THE PROJECTS COULD FUNCTION AS THE
SEEDS OF FULL-FLEDGED PRODUCTIONS.
EACH PARTICIPANT AND PARTICIPANT IN THE CYBERIADA, WHEN SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION, MUST
DECLARE THE DEVELOPMENT PATH IN WHICH HE OR SHE WILL PARTICIPATE DURING THE
CHAMPIONSHIP: GAME DEVELOPMENT, EXPERIENCE DESIGN OR GAME DESIGN.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO WILL
PARTNER US IN YOUR COUNTRY!
