GameFest returns to the Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute starting at 1:00 PM on Saturday April 27.  GameFest is an annual showcase of student talent in game development, bringing together students from around New York State and the Northeast to exhibit their games.  The GameFest awards recognize excellence in game design, technical innovation, artistic quality, and narrative design, and are awarded by a panel of expert judges from game studios in the Capital Region.  In addition to the games showcase, this year includes a graduate research symposium organized by students in the Critical Game Design PhD program.  

This year GameFest marks both RPI's Bicentennial Year and the 20 year anniversary of the launch of the Game Design program. Please join us as we celebrate these milestones and the future generations of game designers!
