Our seniors continued their exploration of video design this week with the help of Velan Studios, Inc. . The topic? Space. Students explored what space means in game environments, how objects move through it, and how designers create immersive experiences for players. A great look into the creative and technical side of game design! Thank you to Leander Hasty and Max Sichel for joining us again this week!

"One of the many benefits of working with academic communities locally is gaining insight." Words of wisdom from our own David Pokress when speaking of the value gained recently from Seth Riddensdale and Zachary Nathanson from Champlain College. We were fortunate, as a company, to join the two of them in a group call to discuss the many benefits of Game Jams. It was informative, topical, and representative of what makes video game development special on every level. We agree with the takeaway: "Do Game Jams!" Thanks again, Seth and Zax!
