Demo Day

 
 


Demo Day is when students show off games built in the laboratory in the last semester. Participants in game development in the lab include students from the School of Cinematic Arts Interactive Media Division (BA Interactive Entertainment, MFA Interactive Media) and students from the Viterbi School of Engineering’s Computer Science Department (BS in Computer Science (Games), MS in Computer Science (Game Development), PhD in Computer Science (Games)). Additional students providing concept art, 3D models, animation, rigging, music and sound come from all across the USC campus and from collaborative schools. Collaborative schools involved in a large way include students from the Laguna College of Art & Design and Atlantic University College in Puerto Rico - students from those programs have been providing concept art, 3D models, animation and rigging for our games.
