Getting into the game is a new documentary aimed at kids who play games. Video games. Kids who play videogames and wonder maybe, possibly, perhapsily, if they’d like to make them. Growing up I remember getting those magazines full of strange impenetrable symbols that promised – if you could just type the whole book into your computer, without making any mistakes – you’d get a brand new, completely free game. These days games are everywhere, but they’re so damn fancy they can seem impossible to learn how to make. This documentary will help open the lid, just a crack, to see what lies inside your favourite games. We’ve brought together people from every corner of the industry – artists, coders, indies, musicians, gamejammers, and developers of every age. Featuring interviews with.. Mary Moloney of  Coder Dojo Andrew Boel, Pete McNally, Nick Grey, & Jen Taylor of  Havok . Terry Cavanagh , creator of VVVVVV and Super Hexagon Owen Harris, designer of  Deep , and co-founder of  DubLUDO . Niall Kehoe , Irelands youngest videogame developer. Students and Lecturers from IT Carlow’s  Videogame design degree . Vicky Lee & Andrea Magnorsky of  Global Gamecraft . and filmmaker, animator and indie developer  David O’Reilly . Also featuring the music of  Audionautix ,  Doomcloud ,  Chipzel ,  Oxygenstar ,  Sawsquarenoise ,  Rolemusic ,  Lack of Sound ,  Scott Holmes ,  AMOON , and the  Triforce quartet . The programme is divided into five segments, each one looking at a different part of making games. Learning the Art We visit cutting edge computing research laboratories at DIT and IT Carlow and tour exciting games development technology.  Lecturers and students explain the skills students should be building outside the classroom if they’d like to study videogames in college. Students tell us about their love of games and how they got into making their own. Getting Covered in Jam At DIT a group called ‘ Global Gamecraft ’ host ‘game jams’, competitions where anyone (over 18) can help make a game in just a few hours. Game Jams are an excellent way to develop the technical, artistic and collaborative skills sought by the games development industry. Jams are a fun and friendly way for young people to get a taste of game development. We speak to competitors and organisers like Vicky Lee, and provide a glimpse of the excitement and accessibility of ‘homebrew’ game development Creating Havok Modern videogames simulate exciting and realistic physics. The most impressive game physics ‘middleware’ software in the world comes from an Irish company founded by graduates of Trinity College. Havok are an industry leader employing dozens of artists and programmers. We speak to staff at the company about the day-to-day work of making one of the key technologies underpinning some of the most exciting and popular videogames. Independent Heroes The independent game development community is a thriving segment of the industry. We speak with leading Irish indie developer  Terry Cavanagh , creator of hit games like ‘Super Hexagon’, about running his own studio. Terry explains how new distribution methods make it easy for anyone to sell their homemade game on the internet. Independent game development is a part of the industry that is particularly important to present to second level students – since it can be used to develop skills, or even start a business while at school. We try out virtual reality in the company of Bryan Duggan of DIT, exploring DEEP, the anti-anxiety game from  Owen Harris . Deep uses unique breathing sensors, soothing music and a beautiful polygon virtual environment to teach deep breathing relaxation techniques. We hear from  David O’Reilly , animator and creator of fictional videogames for use in Hollywood films. David gives us a glimpse into a self-directed career involving art, graphic design, and filmmaking. Coder Dojo Coder Dojo  is a place for kids to learn how to make games, websites, and even robots.
