Kevin Hnatiuk interviews Daniel Salinas from Stanford University at the Game Developer Conference 2007 to talk about their game project; Euclidian Crisis.
Euclidean Crisis is a multiplayer real-time strategy game played using a touchscreen stylus and voice commands. The game can also be played with a mouse.
Players control a diverse team of units on a two-dimensional battlefield, and must destroy their opponents’ energy cores while protecting their own. Players tell units where to go by drawing out paths, and give orders using special gestures and voice activated commands. The game is rendered in a retro aesthetic featuring simple shapes (hence the origin of the title) in a world with colorful, psychedelic visual effects synced to the music.
Euclidean Crisis was developed in ten weeks by Daniel Salinas, Travis Skare, John Shedletsky, and Douglas Wilson for their 2006 Senior Project. The game won top honors at the 2006 Stanford University Computer Science Department Senior Project Faire. It was awarded first prizes by Electronic Arts, VM Ware, Microsoft, Yahoo!, and the Electrical Engineering Department.
