SIPBLOG: What comes next – 7/29/24

What comes next

By Liberty Henry, Emerson College ’24

On Wednesday of this past week, we had the pleasure of having an showcase at our Boston location. There, we had Northeastern students, professors, and the occasional industry professional, community member or visitor stop by and play our games, alongside the games made from this year’s partner program involving the lovely students from UAE.

Working with such talented and hardworking people for the past few months has been amazing. I don’t think I had anticipated getting as close with everyone in the program as I am, and for that, I will be forever grateful. I’ve loved watching everyone fall into familiar grooves with each other, relationships clicking into place, and even watching our quietest and shyest people open up and blossom. I can’t say for certain how or when we will work together after SIP, but if I ever need an artist who can work under pressure, a programmer who will make me laugh, or a lighthearted musician, I know I have a good cluster of people to choose from.

As we head into the final week of SIP24, we are happy to announce the names of our three games; Leaf’s Hamster Ball Blitz, Oh-Pee-Chee’s Uh Oh, AI!, and Necco’s No Party In Paradise. We are tremendously excited to share our games and wrap up the program.
