Session Name:

Boxes and Breakthroughs: Lessons Learned from "Publishing" Student Games

Overview:

Three semesters ago, visiting industry lecturers at USC IMGD banished digital from the introductory undergraduate game design class and introduced a new focus: the final projects would be physical games produced by an on-demand printer and fully productized. The results were extraordinary.
