The Booth:
The NSCC booth represents Game Development and Digital Animation programs. Game Development is further composed by Game Programming and Game Art programs starting Sept. 2023! The booth showcases program content, student work, and faculty work. It is via the showcasing of faculty work that Xona Games receives a small piece of this booth.
Special Thanks:
Much thanks to John Laska for the design, setup, and teardown of our Hal-Con booth!
That is all!
