THAT’S A WRAP ON THE NYC VIDEO GAME FESTIVAL! 🎬🎮
Level 1 of the NYC Summer of Games is officially complete, and the energy at Brookfield Place was absolutely electric!
We spent the day on the floor catching up with the incredible community making NYC the true epicenter of gaming. From gaming stations with the latest in gaming tech to indie developers showing off their creations, the energy was electric!
Here are our top highlights from our quest!
- Battle of the Boroughs Mastery: The Minecraft Mayor’s Cup was a total masterclass in young ingenuity! It was amazing to see K-12 students from all five boroughs step up as junior urban planners, building epic, sustainable versions of NYC. Huge congratulations to the participants and the winners!
- Chit-Chatting with Indie Devs: We got to talk shop with some of the brilliant minds behind the local indie scene. Hearing their creative process and seeing their passion projects in action is all the proof you need that NYC’s developer community is unmatched. My sons loved the Work Simulator game, which gives students a peek into the daily life of actual professions in healthcare and law enforcement. There’s also a new game that incorporates PvP in real using a phone as a way to play, Thumb Wars!
- Tech for the Next Generation: One of the coolest parts of the day was seeing massive tech and gaming companies gather with a shared mission: bringing cutting-edge technology, hardware, and digital media career pathways straight into NYC schools. The future of esports and game dev starts right here in the classroom! I was so impressed with Community X. The people behind it are students themselves, and they help provide tech to schools like streaming tech, and more.
If you missed out on a ticket, don’t forget you can still catch tons of the summer’s upcoming competitive action live on Twitch!
