IVGD attracted over 50 people to playtest event
October 11th, 2023
The Independent Video Game Design program hosted a very successful Indie Game Playtesting Night on Sept. 29.
Audrey Vanasse from Continuing Education and Community Services reported that:
- We had 78 confirmed tickets on Eventbrite, and it felt like easily that many people showed up, with 50+ visually accounted at once during the peak!
- We had 12 teams presenting games, including:
-
- Our Term 4 students, playtesting their current end-of-year project (which is part of their assignment)
- A team of IVGD graduates from last year who are working on their first commercial games
- Several teachers including Osama Dorias, Salim Larochelle and Ramy Daghstani showcased the games they are currently developing with their teams
Elaine Gusella, our Independent Video Game Design Program Coordinator, says "we are already getting a lot of interest for the next edition, which we're hoping to hold in November (date TBD). We're really looking forward to hosting more events as often as we can."
