GAMBIT - Join the Game Revolution!
12th January 2010
We're looking for a Few Good Game Developers! SAE Institute is proud to support the GAMBIT's Summer Program.
GAMBIT's Summer Program is a nine week, full time, intensive game development experience. Students from Singapore join students from MIT and other New England colleges to create video games at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Development teams are composed entirely of student interns, who are responsible for all aspects of the project -- from production to programming, game design and art, music and sound, as well as testing to create a robust, engaging game.
Teams are led by a producer -- also an intern -- and are jointly responsible for scoping, scheduling, and planning out the project to fit in the summer program. For many, this is their first chance to work on multi-disciplinary teams -- interns with different creative talents and skills must learn how to work together, as programmers, artists, audio designers, game designers, testers and producers.
To help out with this development challenge, the GAMBIT staff is comprised of experienced game developers and teachers. We work with our interns to teach them the professional production and development techniques they need.
While teams have a great deal of creative freedom with game design and creation, they are also responsible for working within an actual client's requests and constraints. All of the games created during the Summer Program have a research element -- either as a tool for continuing research by the team's client, as an experiment within a current research program, as an example of an innovative idea or aesthetic, or possibly as an implementation of a new technology. Researchers from a variety of institutions serve as clients, and the teams are responsible for creating a game that meets their researcher's needs.
Join us in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology this summer, and let's make some games! Visit website for more details: http://gambit.mit.edu
