| DePaul Game Elites are reaching the end of the development of their title Devil’s Tuning Fork. We are currently testing the game to make sure all bugs are found and taken care of for our Dec. 4th release. In order for that to happen, we need testers to run through the game and check off certain items as working, as well as any abnormalities (or bugs).
The checklist can be found at the end of this post, and the game can be downloaded here. Please fill out this document with the specs of your computer and a check for each item that is correctly working in the game. When you complete this form, please send it to the project’s producer, Matt Lazar, at mlazar392@gmail.com. If you have any questions please send them his way. Thanks!

“What if you saw the world with your ears? Inspired by M.C. Escher’s classic optical illusion and the echolocation of dolphins, Devil’s Tuning Fork challenges you to explore a new mode of perception through sound visualization.
As the month of June dwindled down a group of DePaul students formed to create the DePaul Game Elites. This group was assigned the “simple” task to create an original game in six months to compete in the Independent Games Festival. Advised by industry veterans Alex Seropian, Patrick Curry, Bill Muehl, Joe Linhoff, and Scott Roberts the team composed of six programmers, six artists, two designers, and one producer.
After six months of conceptualizing, prototyping, and development the group is proud to introduce our finished game, Devil’s Tuning Fork. ” – DGE Team
