A COMPUTER game has been launched by four Essex University graduates after they were selected for a special challenge.
The computer science and computer gaming students were picked to take part in the Virgin Media 100 Day Game project, working with some of the biggest names in the industry to make their concept a reality.
They successfully launched their game Superfluid at the Eurogamer Expo in September and it is now available to download free on Android and Apple products.
The Surface Tensions Studio team was made of Dave Pearson from Southend, Guy Cass from Thorpe-le-Soken, Daniel Scott and Joseph Le Grice, both originally from Suffolk but who moved to Colchester while studying.

Nerds!
I say good on you lads and good luck for the future, I was at the EG Expo and look forward to seeing your future projects.
