# Tavern Tussle Wins People’s Choice Award


The people have spoken!

Team Ottermation (Ameen Alqudah, Matthew Baird, Alexander Maturan, Jessie Rachmanm, and myself) spent the last semester developing Tavern Tussle, a fantasy-themed multiplayer party game which you can play [here](https://auroraechoes.dev/games/tavern-tussle).

We were nominated for the UTS Tech Fest Showcase Awards Night, where we won the People’s Choice Award! I’m incredibly proud of the hard work our amazing team put into sculpting this game, from the largest chisels to the smallest details. This game came together particularly over the last 3 weeks before Tech Fest, in large part thanks to the countless hours of work and tireless efforts of Jessie Rachman, Matthew Baird, and myself. It has been a genuine pleasure to work with such utterly talented humans.

Since Tech Fest, we’ve made two more game jam minigame prototypes (called “Tavern Tangents”):
- [Tavern Tangent: Drink Swindler](https://auroraechoes.dev/games/tavern-tangent-drink-swindler)
- [Tavern Tangent: Wizard Warfare](https://auroraechoes.dev/tavern-tangent-wizard-warfare)
… and we’re not done! Watch this space…
