Students who are in Ajou University's Department of Digital Media and participating in Paran Semester won the Grand Prize in the Indie Game category at the '2016 Anyang Smart Content Super Rookie Contest.' The award-winning game is called ‘RPG Run,' which was developed by the team consisting of Byeong Jun Yoon, Min Jae Won, Ji Hun Joo, and Tae Hwan Kim. The team has been participating in Paran Semester with the assignment of developing independent games since spring semester this year.


The Contest hosted by Anyang City and organized by Anyang Creative Industry Promotion Agency and Educational Broadcasting System had the categories of Indie Game Development and VR/AR Ideas. It was held for three days from October 27th to the 29th at Anyang Creative Economy & Convergence Center, with about 50 teams participating, including students, corporate employees, and those preparing to start their own businesses. Six teams won awards in the Indie Game Development category and five teams received prizes in the VR/AR Ideas category. RPG Run Team won the Anyang City Mayor Award and five million won in prize money.


RPG Run, which the team began developing last semester, features characters trying to escape from monster attacks and get out of a maze. It is fun, exciting, and easy to play, and users can enjoy the speed of the game and use a variety of items.


Byeong Jun Yoon who designed the game said, "I and my friends have put all our efforts into developing the game since the beginning of the year and now we are more confident in what we are doing after winning the prize," adding, "I ask for your continued interest and hope that you enjoy our game."
