A creative exploration of interactive storytelling and game design, Paper World was developed as part of the Imagine Cup, Microsoft’s global student technology competition, which challenges young innovators to create technology-driven solutions and experiences.
As a member of Team Sweet Dreams, I collaborated with Kyriacos Heracleous and Kriton Florides to develop the game, combining creativity and technical thinking to bring our concept to life. Our project was awarded first place in the local Game Design competition, held in Nicosia, Cyprus, on 30 April 2012, and hosted by Frederick University’s Department of Computer Science in coordination with Microsoft Cyprus.
This achievement marked an important milestone in our creative journey, celebrating teamwork, innovation, and the potential of interactive experiences to turn imaginative ideas into playable worlds.
