The team was selected to represent Drexel at the Intel Student Games 2015 GDC contest and was a finalist, and it also won a best project award throughout the entire College of Computing (beating out games and non-games alike). The fact that there were a variety of Gygans to choose from and each provided unique units and buildings led to tons of replayability. These unique dynamics lead to a streamlined RTS experience unlike anything on the market. Adding to the intrigue is the fact that the buildings themselves will uproot and become super units once they have spawned a few units.

Players can redraw these paths at any time and can orchestrate play as if they drawing a sports play. Every tower on the map will have display a line walking directly towards the enemy Gygan, and every minute or so, every building will spawn a unit that automatically walks this path, attacking everything in its way. Each player guards a Gygan, a gigantic monster representing the player. Gygan Reign plays as an RTS where players build defensive towers on the map. The game would not have micromanagement, would not last for a long time, and would not overwhelm players.

The design goal was to utilize elements of MOBA design to make a casual friendly RTS. Best Senior Design Project Drexel College of Computing, Finalist in Intel 2015 Student Games CompetitionДeveloped as a Senior Design Project as a collaboration between students in the art and computer science colleges.
