Major Production Pitches 2019
Throughout the entire 2nd year, students enrolled in our Game Programming and our Game Art & Animation programs are divided into game development teams to create their first game. All student games below will have a demo presented at IFEST 2019, as it is a milestone shared among all teams. Before they get to showcase their game at Seattle Center in front of hundreds of gamers, they have to present their games to industry professionals.
This year’s judges were: Walter Williams (Undead Labs), Timothy-Staten Davis (343 Industries), Austin Maestre (CDK Global), John Comes (Tiny Build) and Mike Mikaaelian (Wizards of the Coast). After the student teams have completed their presentations, the teams will have a little over a month to apply their feedback, just in time for their demo launch at IFEST 2019.
