Game Development Showcase
April 28, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
The Showcase highlights games built by teams of NC State Computer Science students in their advanced game projects course. Refreshments will be served.
About the Showcase:
Students will be demonstrating games created during the 16-week CSC 482 course, as well as a handful of other games they have developed during their careers at NC State.
The CSC 482 Advanced Game Projects course expands on the principles learned about Game Engines in CSC 481. It is an exploration of technologies and techniques necessary for developing a stand-alone computer game. The students tackle game production and its issues via a team-based project.
Important Showcase Details:
Date: April 28, 2017
Time: 6:00 p.m. for brief presentation, demos and a reception with light refreshments to follow
Location: Engineering Building 2; Room 1221 for presentations, east foyer for demonstrations.
The teams of students will give presentations describing the design and development of their games, from the initial concept phase, through the definition of technical and artistic milestones, to the effort involved to create the finished product. After their presentations, students will host audience members at a reception where the games will be available for play, and the students will answer questions about their work. Faculty will also be available at the reception to answer questions from students and parents interested in NC State’s courses and programs focusing on game creation.
About Our Sponsors:
XLOC, Inc. provides a proprietary suite of agile, web-based localization applications and tools that manage the asset integration and build process across all games, regardless of development structure, format or platform. By automating the processes, XLOC saves time, reduces development risks, and lowers maintenance and translation costs. Localization and Studio Producers get detailed insight and control over all facets of the process, enabling them to focus on the higher details of managing the localization effort. Additionally, XLOC’s custom integration and translation packages provide QA and developers with ongoing parallel-localized game files so there should be no surprises when trying to create foreign SKUs. XLOC has been used to build such titles asBioshock 2, Bioshock Infinite, Borderlands, Doom 3 and Quake 4.
