Students pursue love of gaming through video game design
Making video games is a dream for some gamers out there, but for some students it is a reality. Spartasoft is a game development organization, which focuses on preparing undergraduate students for the game design and development minor. This organization is not limited to people interested in the minor — anyone who has a passion for learning about how to create their own video games can join. “I think the biggest thing that (people) should know about Spartasoft, is that they don’t need to have any skills in game development to join," media and information senior Connor Kurtz said. "You just need to want to make games, and we’ll teach you from the ground up." Kurtz has been involved with Spartasoft since his freshman year and is currently serving as the president of the organization. Spartasoft was established at MSU in 2001 and has grown significantly since then. During weekly meetings, the E-board along with some advanced members help the new members get adjusted to the game design software. Each week, members will learn about the different components when it comes to game design.
