On May 17, 21 student teams will present their video games during the GDIAC 2025 Games Showcase at Cornell University. This annual event highlights games developed in courses on computer game architecture and design, as well as projects from independent students and the Cornell Development in Games Association. The showcase allows for external audiences to experience the games, which is crucial for evaluating their enjoyment and fun factor. Courses have seen significant growth since their start, emphasizing collaboration and diverse skill sets in game development.
It's always been crucial from the very beginning to have people from outside of Cornell playing these games because that's the only way we can determine whether or not they are fun.
Since their creation in 2002, the two gaming courses have grown substantially, with the intro course expanding from 15-20 students to 100.
The courses bring together people with different skill sets, which is how product development works in the real world.
This year, Rocket Penguin, the winning team for the Most Innovative Game Award in 2024, will be presenting a sequel to their game.
