SO YOU WANT TO MAKE GAMES?
Description
Game development is one of the most expansive creative industries in the world and Shepparton has its own working designer ready to show you how it actually works.
Join us for an evening with local game designer Jackson Nexhip, who has built a career spanning development, streaming and teaching. He'll walk us through his path and what the day-to-day of being a game developer actually looks like.
We will also hear from a special guest about game development study options and where industry roles are growing, so you leave with concrete next steps, not just inspiration.
A highlight of the evening will be a showcase of games created by local young people offering live demos you can actually play. This group of young people have been participating in weekly game development workshops with Jackson at Gamers Resort - Shepparton's home for gaming culture in every form, from digital to tabletop, and everything in between.
Whether you're curious, creative, or considering your options this one's worth your Monday night!
Presented by Riverlinks and TOPSOIL Arts
