Two games created by TECH.C. students have won awards at the Tokyo eSports Game Development Contest 2026 Student Category.
This contest was held within Tokyo e-sports Festa 2026, which took place at Tokyo Big Sight from Friday, January 9 to Sunday, January 11, 2026.
The winning works are the 4-player competitive PC game GemHunter and the rhythm-based competitive PC game Bato-tte Channel!!.
This contest targets competitive games, and the students' works reportedly received high praise for their planning ability, technical skills, and level of completion.
The works were lined up at the exhibition booth at the venue, where many visitors actually played them.
Voices were heard saying, "This is a precious opportunity to directly play original games planned and produced by students."
GemHunter
The first winning work is the 4-player competitive PC game GemHunter.
Created by Team GemHunter, the objective of this work is to collect gems to accelerate and break walls to create escape routes.
A key feature is that the positions of the pursuer and the escapee are reversed when caught.
You can enjoy thrilling gameplay, aiming for high scores by stacking points consecutively.
Bato-tte Channel!!
The other winning work is the rhythm-based competitive PC game Bato-tte Channel!!.
This work by Team Bachi-Bachi Hosokyoku has a concept of a 2D battle based on the motif of a sibling quarrel, where you interfere with the channel your opponent wants to watch and fight for it.
The controls are simple, involving pressing numbers on the numeric keypad with good timing, and an intense channel scramble unfolds with an accessibility that anyone can enjoy immediately.
At TECH.C., professional instructors provide guidance, and students learn work creation through the weekly class Game Project.
Attention is likely to continue focusing on the activities of these students who have grown as creators.
