Antti Salomaa moves to a mysterious Agent position in the board and gives the role of the club’s Vice President to Juhani Hujala, an interaction design student starting his third year of studies at TAMK. Juhani’s classmate Janne Jaakkola shall in turn bear the title of Member Coordinator and is responsible for recruiting fresh blood to the club ranks. Eevi Korhonen starts her Media Programme at TAMK this fall and is our proud new Secretary. Score’s Co-Founder and Ex-President Teemu Haila is granted yet more titles and becomes an Advisor and joins the shady Agent ranks with Antti. As for me, you will still see Juho Hartikainen entitled as the proud President of the club.

Aside from the aforementioned board members who do the paperwork and make decisions concerning the club, we also have a handful of people who are willing to help us with all that. For this reason, we now recognise a new group inside the club structure: volunteers. Basically, volunteers are assistants who are willing to take responsibilities but do not actively take part in the grand schemes of Score. There are currently four volunteers in the club: Webmaster Heikki Leppänen, Audiovisual Designer Juho Korhonen, Reporter Mikko Kähäri and Assistant Vilma Pekola.

Overboard got it’s premiere at Winter Assembly 09. Game arrived at the opening day to TAMK’s booth maybe a little unfinished, but we were confident and let the other group of organizers play it. When the party started and booth cleared of extra organizers, some brave ones found their way to watch and eventually play our game. Over the time even more people tried our cozy beanbag chairs and enjoyed the fast paced game experience.

During the Saturday and Sunday Overboard entertained both the actual developers of the game as new players. We even think Overboard might have gotten some real fans too, as they stopped at our booth several times during the weekend and played in total several hundred rounds. They even found our little Easter Egg while playing.

We collected lots of valuable feedback and ideas how to develop the game further. The game yearned it’s unfinished-status every once in a while as crashing, and some of the bugs were fixed right at the spot. Incompleteness of the game didn’t take the enjoyment away from the people, and booth was filled with screams when the wave took the characters into Davy Jones’s locker or delightful Yarr!’s of the fresh born captain of the pirate ship!
