Website re-design

So, the DGMC website needed a revamp. Although we proposed a brand new website, the management needed something immediately. So, I just redesigned the existing one. Below is the one that is finally chosen.

So finally after one year of hard work, lots of heated arguments and discussions, lots of workshops in India and England, the AHRC sponsored and British Council & Science Innovation Network (UK) initiated game is finally developed. A version here is available for download on Google Playstore.

The game is developed by Dave Griffith from Falmouth University, UK.

Here is a paper prototype that was tested on target crowd before developing the digital game. More details of this project is mentioned in an earlier blog update. Click here to view that.
