Oct 09 2011 03:00 PM | Events For Gamers in GDC Online

As the Game Developers Conference Online event kicks off in Austin, TX this week, the event's parent organization, the UBM TechWeb Game Network [also owner of Gamasutra] debuts a browser-based game commissioned for Web Wise Kids (WWK), a non-profit company for the benefit of child safety.

The free title is called Passing The Ball and is created by notable indie game creator Gregory Weir (The Majesty Of Colors). It's an action game that follows a parent and their child as they learn an important lesson about working together.

Using generative music and randomized opponents, the game is currently available on the official GDC Online website, and will be available on multiple worldwide online game sites in the near future.
