The Game Dev Showcase is December 11 2025 4pm kickoff there and then move to 154 for demos.
For the exam:
You are required to attend in person.
If you are not able to attend in person notify your team and your faculty and join on zoom or with a preprepped video
For the responses and feedback: You are not required to attend with your team. All exam responses (comments on other people's pitches) should be done individually instead of as a team.
If you and/or your team does not submit their video by the deadline, at the start of the exam, others will not be required to review it.
You may submit your video before the start of the exam. This is encouraged so that there is not processing time at the beginning of the exam.
One Sheets to be added to the MSU Looping Reel in 154
Connect with me if you want to be in the showcase.
There will be a form to fill out that Andrew Dennis will make available.
You may still need to make a one sheet.
