Description

Irradiance Games is a team of 11 students. For 'Magnolia', we utilized a custom engine and editor built entirely using C++/C#. We have a robust editor with a variety of features.

Testimonials

"And the award for "Game I saved for last, so I'd end the semester on a high note" goes to the amazing game "Magnolia" by DigiPen Team Irradiance. This is an exquisite poetic experience created by the team for the family of a young girl who died from cancer. Stunningly beautiful visuals, perfect audio...and a storyline that made me cry (and that's worth extra points to your grades, folks!)"

- Ellen Beeman, Senior Lecturer at DigiPen Institute of Technology
