2020 Showcase Goes Online

Despite the chaos of a somewhat online semester, our games have been going strong. In the past year 2019 favorite Family Style has been featured on the Apple App store and now has over 1.5 million downloads on all platforms. It even has its own Reddit channel.

After much discussion, we have decided that COVID-19 will not stand in the way of showcase. On Friday, May 22nd, we will make all of the games for this semester available for download from the official Showcase page. But more importantly, we will also issue temporary invites for everyone to join our Discord server. This is open to the general public -- you do not need to be affiliated with Cornell. You can watch other people stream their games, stream yourself playing, or just get technical support if you are having trouble installing.

There are a lot of high quality games this year and we want them to have the same experience that Family Style did last year -- getting the feedback that they need to push their games to the next level. So come join us on May 22nd!

Date/Time: Friday, May 22nd from 1 -4 pm
Venue: Discord (Invite link on Showcase page)

2019 GDIAC Showcase

As the semester ends, it is time once again for the GDIAC showcase. The showcase will include student game projects from the past year. We have a large number of exhibtions, including projects from CS/INFO 3152, CS/INFO 4152 and independent studies.

Last year was the 10th year that Walker White has directed the GDIAC program, and it was a great year. Once again, we placed several of our games at Boston FIG. The viral success of Underhand has continued, and it now has over a million downloads on Android. As Professor White enters his second decade running the program, we once again have a strong slate of games.

The showcase is open to the general public, so that everyone can play and experience these projects. In addition, the public is welcome to vote for the favorite in the award ceremony at the end. Come see what all of the excitement is about, and catch the next big game before it breaks out.
