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.</p><p style="margin:0.8em 0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size:18px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">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.</p><p style="margin:0.8em

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.</p><p style="margin:0.8em 0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size:18px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span>Getting Covered in Jam</span></p><p style="margin:0.8em 0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size:18px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);padding-left:30px;">At DIT a group called ‘<a href="https://www.gamecraft.it/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(82,70,86);font-weight:bold;" rel="nofollow">Global Gamecraft</a>’ 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</p><p style="margin:0.8em 0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size:18px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span>Creating Havok</span></p><p style="margin:0.8em 0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size:18px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);padding-left:30px;">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.</p><p style="margin:0.8em 0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size:18px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span>Independent Heroes</span></p><p style="margin:0.8em 0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size:18px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);padding-left:30px;">The independent game development community is a thriving segment of the industry.

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.</p><p style="margin:0.8em 0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size:18px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);padding-left:30px;">We try out virtual reality in the company of Bryan Duggan of DIT, exploring DEEP, the anti-anxiety game from <a href="http://owenllharris.com/blog" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(82,70,86);font-weight:bold;" rel="nofollow">Owen Harris</a>.
