The Faculty of Informatics BIP initiative, “3D Modeling for Games,” was successfully implemented

During this week, the teams continued to improve their games during practical workshops. Students also played each other’s games and rated them, fostering a sense of camaraderie and healthy competition. This is how the teams that created the event in the Best Game Visual and Best Gameplay categories were selected and awarded.

BIP is intended to deepen knowledge in a specific direction and get to know the country and its culture. Therefore, the organizers included a visit to the Vytautas, the Great War Museum, the Old Town of Kaunas, and a tasting of traditional dishes in the program.

To become a good game developer, you first need to love playing games yourself. Therefore, to maintain the spirit of the player, during BIP, students could compete in the bowling alleys and sit down to board games. After summing up the results with the points from the workshop, the top five were chosen when each student played the games created by the team. They were awarded prizes with KTU attributes.

The BIP organizers, Kęstutis Jankauskas and Andrius Paulauskas, were delighted with the success and popularity of the program. All teams managed to create high-quality games under the given conditions, a testament to the students’ dedication and talent. The organizers were pleasantly surprised by the student’s enthusiasm and motivation, which bodes well for the future of the program.

Academic staff from Sweden and Portugal also came to gain experience in BIP organization. The Faculty of Informatics made valuable contacts with the academic staff. Depending on the program’s success, the initiative is planned to continue.
