I personally felt that this event was SO much fun to attend! To see all the games taken into an exhibition format, shown on big screens in front of classmates, instructors, and other faculty and guest panelists… Amazing!!! Also the ModLab it self was really neat.
From being a gamer since childhood to making my own games and exhibiting one was kind of unreal. I think I’m headed in this direction now in terms of what I want to study and do in the future. This quarter was only my first glimpse at actually developing games and each new project was so exciting, and to see myself actually start projects before sunday night was also a surprise and makes me think I must be somewhat passionate about it to be doing that… Really nice to see it all come together, and then to hear professors during the discussion talk about the books they’ve written on games. It’s always interesting to hear people talk about things from their own background of study and see how they all approach the same concepts.
Congratulations to everyone on making AMAZING games, every single one is incredible to look at and I’m really happy we all got to exhibit together. I can’t wait to download everyone’s games on itch.io >:)
