Theme:
In the regional challenge the Hackstreet Boys' submission was a multiplayer strategy based card game known as Elementable. In this submission, as a sequel, the card based game mechanic was expanded on and a single player mode was added on top of multiplayer. Like all the best sequels, however, the main focus of this game was to expand on the world and story of Elementable, creating a more linear and story based game: Elementale.

Challenges:
Syncing team work and the unprecedented scope of the game, 
"At the end of the project half of the battle was remembering what I had initially written." - Will, head programmer. 
"Team coordination was messy at first, but sitting down and getting all the functionality on a flowchart was our key to success." -  Daniel, Project Manager

Highlights:
The storyboarding, the elated sense of reward that comes with creating a part of the project that actually worked, coding to the point that you begin seeing the world in variables, scaling the original concept into a larger game, being able to work as a team on such a challenging yet rewarding game that we're passionate about.
