Information is as follows:

 

Newport Games Grad

A showcase of innovative and thoughtful games from the industry’s bright new talent.

The show will offer a chance to play a wide variety of games, from co-op gaming to intriguing adventure, from card games to web games, and talk to students whose strengths range from traditional drawing to graphic design to 3D modelling and animation.

It will also be an opportunity to see the brand new campus, which recently received the Royal Institute of British Architects Award.

“This year has been incredibly exciting for the course, with our students producing very interesting and innovative work, and really getting involved in the industry – we’ve had three student groups set up companies in Newport in the last year. I am truly proud and privileged to be working with such exciting, talented and dedicated students.” 

- Corrado Morgana, Programme Leader
Join us for the grand opening at City Centre Campus on Friday 17th June, 6-9pm, or visit us from 10am-2pm until 1st July. 

We hope to see you there!
