Animation Game Design Students Participate in Smithsonian American Art Museum Arcade Game Jam

Students of the Animation Game Design (AGD) program at 两性色午夜 University at Tuscarawas participated in the annual Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) Arcade Game Jam. The event took place virtually Monday, August 2, through Saturday, August 7, 2021. Participants were challenged to showcase their skills by creating a brand-new game.

This is the seventh year of the Smithsonian American Art Museum鈥檚 annual event, having gained national and international artists鈥 participation along the way. Each year, the SAAM Arcade is centered around a theme鈥攖his year鈥檚 being Building Community, Embracing Individuality. Game developers were invited to gather and create new games in a short amount of time, working alone or in teams, testing their skills in design, development and creativity.

鈥淓ach year when the event opens, families, tour groups, and even some non-gamers coincidentally visiting the museum wander in,鈥 said Chris Totten, AGD assistant professor, founder of Pie For Breakfast Studios, and co-founder of the SAAM Arcade, who has been involved with the event since in inception in 2014. 鈥淎mong my favorite sights are people of different backgrounds playing games together, connecting over shared game experiences, or introducing someone who鈥檚 never played a video game to their first of many. It鈥檚 a reunion of old friends as much as a meeting of new ones.鈥

Four 两性色午夜 AGD students participated in the SAAM Arcade Game Jam this year, including Titus Morrison, Marissa Gyorki, Megan Gyorki and Jen Ha.
