X48 Wrap Up
It’s all over - early Saturday evening 80 exhausted students left Derby University for home after spending 36 hours producing some awesome games using XNA.
The top three prizes went to:
First Prize - Huddersfield Green's Seavolution
Second Prize - Huddersfield Orange's Involved
Third Prize - Team Newport's Bellis Perennis
and there were a bunch of other quirky prizes such as cheesiest game which went to Hull’s Evo.
To all those who took part – congratulations. Not only was I amazed by the quality of the games produced but also your unquenchable thirst for Red Bull!
For those that weren’t there you missed a treat, keep an eye on the official X48 site as all of the games will be posted there shortly.

It was a truly wonderful event - lots of laughs and some great games at the end of it all. Major thanks to everyone who took part, all the organisers and of course to all of the mentors and judges for giving up their time! Looking forward to the Imagine Cup now ;DAnonymous
