The UC Santa Cruz Games & Playable Media program invites the public to play the newlycomplete videogames created by graduate and undergraduate students. This event marks the first time the 2016 games will be shown to the general public, and the first time UCSC has shown games from the undergraduate and graduate programs all in one place.
This event, named the “Sammy Showcase” in honor of UCSC mascot Sammy the Slug, is taking place at the newly renovated UCSC Silicon Valley Campus in Santa Clara.
Friends, family, and the general public are all welcome to attend, play the games, and meet the student creators. The event will also be live broadcast on TwitchTV from 1 4pm at http://twitch.tv/ucscgpm.
A panel of industry professionals and alumni will be judging each game based on technical and artistic achievement, with the winners taking home a coveted Sammy Award at The Sammy Awards Show the following week.
