A return on the participation of students from Shawinigan College at the intercollegiate video game creation center in Valleyfield<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The intercollegiate of video game creation<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Valleyfield – The annual Game Jam<\/em> organized by the Coll\u00e8ge de Valleyfield invites students from all over Quebec to come and design a video game in less than 40 consecutive hours<\/strong>. Every year a different theme is given to the participants. This year, the event welcomed more than 15 teams<\/strong> and the chosen theme was: The hostel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, we sponsored the participation of a team<\/a> from Shawinigan College. In 2018, we announced in December<\/a> that we are, once again, offering financial support to Shawinigan College, but this year sponsoring two teams<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alpha Enigmatiks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Alpha team made a captivating first person shooter game demonstrating phenomenal dedication to the competition’s theme. The musical talents of Dominick and the artistic direction of Andr\u00e9anne and St\u00e9phane combined to create a game that caught the jury’s eye gaining them a third place finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project is an admirable example of the combination of various creative passions and computer science in order to obtain a professional and succcessful outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beta Enigmatiks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Beta team designed an impressive scrolling game. The game has a ton of graphical elements like “pixel art<\/em>” drawn by Etienne. His two teammates tackled the development of the mechanics surrounding the control of the character and its balance<\/strong> and the generation of the saloon that scrolls indefinitely<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easier done than said!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Result<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Game Jam<\/em> Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During this type of event participants need to apply their talents in a variety of areas that all reflect the reality of the job market. IT is constantly evolving, forcing developers to adapt quickly and be comfortable using a variety of tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is by encouraging students to be curious and learn independently that we show them what is possible to achieve in software development. While for some software development might be a job, for others it is a passion!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
