Thanks to a highly regarded program, students on the Hill don\u2019t just play games\u2014they make them<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This story was condensed from a feature<\/a> in the<\/em> Cornell Chronicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Patricia Waldron<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Zachary Schecter \u201923, it was winning the Most Innovative Game award at the Game Design Showcase his sophomore year that really clinched it: he would become a professional game developer. He had watched showcase attendees play his team\u2019s game, Sisyphus<\/a><\/em>, where the mythological main character swings his boulder through 40 levels, from the underworld up to Mount Olympus\u2014and the judges deemed it the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a defining moment,\u201d Schecter says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A longtime gamer, Schecter had considered game design as a career\u2014but the computer science major didn\u2019t know how to make that happen until he discovered the Game Design Initiative at Cornell<\/a> (GDIAC) program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt literally changed my life,\u201d he says. \u201cIt gave me everything I needed to understand how to make a game and also showed me what the real experience was like.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2001, GDIAC was the first undergraduate game design program at an Ivy League school and one of the first in the country. Students can declare game design as a minor, and Princeton Review<\/em> lists it among the top 50 game design programs for undergrads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many GDIAC students, the showcase<\/a> is when a passion for game design crystallizes into a career plan\u2014all that hard work rewarded by the intoxicating rush of someone entranced by a game you created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the showcase was held May 20 in Clark Atrium in the Physical Sciences Building, with almost 600 visitors. According to vote counts, the crowd favorites were the desktop game Munchkey<\/em> (where a monkey chef defeats dangerous fruit to make fruit skewers) and the mobile game Sunk Cost<\/em>, a multiplayer stealth game where players are either treasure hunters exploring an underwater shipwreck or spirits trying to thwart them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are a lot of flashy game design programs out there, but we hit above our weight for the resources that we have,\u201d says Walker White, PhD \u201900<\/a>, director of GDIAC and senior lecturer in the Department of Computer Science in the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science, where the initiative is based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite being a highly competitive field, alumni of the program can be found at all levels of the industry, from companies like PlayStation and Oculus VR to successful indie teams with breakout hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White runs his introductory and advanced game development courses as studio classes, with students constantly presenting and critiquing each other\u2019s games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twelve teams of eight\u2014a mix of artists, programmers, and a musician\u2014function like an indie game company to produce all or part of a game for the annual showcase. Students not only learn sound design, computer graphics, and software engineering but also the critical art of project management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the professional tools from creating games have steadily improved in recent years, the students still build parts of their games from scratch\u2014a decision that White says sets GDIAC apart from other programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m an educator, and I believe in teaching foundational, portable skills,\u201d White says. \u201cI want them seeing how everything fits together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program\u2019s biggest breakout hit was the mobile game Family Style<\/em>\u2014a party game where players pass ingredients between phones to assemble dishes. In 2019, the game was featured on the front page of Apple\u2019s App Store, went viral in Thailand, and reached a peak of 15,000 daily active players, White says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But despite the preparation GDIAC provides, game development is still a tough field, with stiff competition for jobs, grinding hours, and frequent layoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love supporting my students who want to go into the game industry,\u201d White says, \u201cbut I don\u2019t sugarcoat it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He sends five or six graduates off to the game industry each year, while 15 to 20 others go on to work in game-related tech. \u201cI make sure people are going in wide-eyed, because they\u2019re hopefully in it for the long haul.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developing video games may seem like child\u2019s play, but it\u2019s a big business.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Entertainment Software Association reports the U.S. spent $56.6 billion on video games in 2022; worldwide, the market was estimated to be worth $214.2 billion. About two-thirds of people in the U.S. play video games at least once a week, and the industry employed more than 400,000 people in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s definitely a challenging industry; the bar is generally really high,\u201d says Rajiv Puvvada \u201910, an early graduate of the program and industry veteran who has worked at top companies, including Zynga, JuiceBox Games, and AWS for Games. Especially for entry-level positions, he says, \u201cthere are only so many of those spots that come around.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no cheat codes for breaking into the industry, but recent graduate Kristina Gu \u201922, BS \u201921, MEng \u201922, says that after multiple attempts, she felt fortunate to have landed an internship at PlayStation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gu is now a technical designer at Naughty Dog, an affiliated company behind the critically acclaimed game The Last of Us<\/em>. GDIAC made her well-rounded, which makes her a more flexible game designer, she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGame development is really one of the only fields that has that perfect balance of being interdisciplinary, technical, and creative,\u201d Gu says, \u201cwhich is something I really, really enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
