Last night marked an exciting milestone for the UTS Playmakers Arcade, as the monthly event was hosted at Fortress Sydney for the very first time. The move brought new energy to this beloved showcase, creating a professional, vibrant setting for students, alumni, and industry professionals to connect, play, and celebrate game development together.
Our PhD students Marell and Qing recently represented our lab at SXSW Sydney, bringing their research, creativity, and skills to one of the world’s leading innovation and creative festivals.
Today’s End-of-Year Showcase marked another milestone in a tradition that continues to grow stronger each year. For nearly a decade, students from the Bachelor of Game Development and the Bachelor of Music and Sound Design have come together to explore, experiment, and create in ways that blur the boundaries between games and sound.
This year’s showcase once again highlighted the power of collaboration, featuring projects that combined imaginative storytelling, technical innovation, and rich sonic design to deliver experiences that both entertain and inspire.
Huge congratulations to our talented students for showcasing their game at SXSW (South by Southwest), one of the world’s most influential festivals celebrating creativity, innovation, and emerging talent across multiple industries including gaming, film, music, and technology.
Congratulations to the Playmakers Student Society and the PDT team for their outstanding achievement in presenting their games at PAX last week, one of the world’s leading gaming conventions.
PAX brings together developers, studios, and gamers from around the globe, offering an unparalleled platform for networking, showcasing innovation, and celebrating the gaming community. For our students to have their work featured on this prestigious stage is a testament to their passion, creativity, and dedication.
