Summary:
Are you involved with Computer Game Development? Do you know of staff or students at academic institutions who are? If so, please share this information on this event with them so they can attend this year’s Competition. The top 10 of this year’s entries of the games’ first stage submitted will compete and be judged by professionals from the Computer Game Development industry.

Building on the success of last year’s competition, this year’s is also being held in a Hybrid format! We’ll be in-person at Cal State University, Fullerton and virtually via Twitch (while the teams present to the judges via Discord).

The IEEE GameSIG Intercollegiate Game [Developers] Competition, now in its fifteenth year, is an educational outreach project of IEEE GameSIG (which is part of the Orange County IEEE Computer Society, but does not geographically limit competing teams). The purpose of this event is to help students develop and demonstrate their skills at game design, development and promotion. They are challenged to show off a playable level of a game, live, in front of an audience of experienced game industry personnel and guests (which we are hoping you will join). The Computer Society Publication Office produced a 9 minute Youtube video about a previous live Competition/Showcase which is available on the home page of GameSIGshowcase.org or at this link: 2013 IEEE Intercollegiate Game Showcase.
