Student Blog - Gamecon

Over the last few week and months, we have been planning our second annual Games convention. During the last holiday we held our 3-day games convention at the college.

For this games convention, we used a variety of games from a wide range of different consoles. We a managed to get different 2 table tennis tables, a 2 vs 2 Counter Strike game and the college flight simulator. Also a special guest from Teesside University came who brought their Oculus Rift DK1 (Dev Kit 1) and gave us all some information on the different courses that they offer in this field.

For £1, you were entered into a raffle to win a Sega Mega drive and it let you come and play the different games that we had to offer J Students had a racing experience with a wheel and pedals that Mark allowed us to use ( THIS WAS HARD… LET ME TELL YOU NOW)

Also Dominos sponsored us and gave us 10 free pizzas A DAY…. Yes, that’s right 10 free pizzas A DAY. This turned out to be  one of the most popular things about the event J.

Over the 3 days we ran different competitions such as ;
·         Time Trial Sonic Levels
·         Mario Maker levels
And many many more

After the 3 days, we managed to make an overall total of £208 which was a massive increase on how much we made from the first year!!
