In 2007, Imaging and Digital Arts graduate student and IRC graduate research assistant Aaron Oldenburg fully developed the game Cop Baby as part of the ongoing research for the Fieldtrip Project. The game was programmed using Flash and offers a unique 3D effect that Aaron developed. After working on “Machinima” films made from screen-captured gameplay, Aaron created his game world and idea.

The game’s underlying message relates to the Fieldtrip project in that many professions rely on personal attributes that are not always obvious or supported in ordinary preparatory curricula.

Cop Baby has received over 1,000,000 hits on the Addicting Games website
