Gaming Capstone 2019!

Thanks to everyone for another great event!  The 2019 gaming capstone demo hosted about 150 people, including 75 high schoolers, Baylor faculty and students, and industry professionals.  The team demoed their game, Blood Brothers, which is available for free on Steam!

We were also included in the Office of the President email: “I continue to be impressed by our students, particularly with this creative and collaborative endeavor taken on by some of the seniors in our department of computer science, as they will unveil and demonstrate a video game created in the program’s gaming capstone course during an open house presentation on Friday. Combining the efforts of film and digital media, art, music and entrepreneurship students, this remarkable team project provides the full industry experience of publishing a video game from concept to market. The program will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. tomorrow in Bennett Auditorium in the Draper Academic Building. Game demonstrations will take place after an initial presentation, and attendees will have a chance to play the new game.”

We look forward to having you play our game, and will see everyone next year for another great demo!
