Blinding Silence

Blinding Silence is a game in which you “see” sound to solve physical puzzles. As a wave of darkness falls over the land and light wanes, so does free will. Humans mindlessly repeat the same tasks. By controlling a blind man saved by chance, you influence the mindless humans through sonic interaction and alter their tasks to solve puzzles—shattering the crystals that are holding the world in thrall and returning light to the land!

Lilium

Lilium tests the bounds of cooperative play with teammates controlled by artificial intelligence in a single-player, 3D-action, role-playing game built in Unity. Created in a highly detailed futuristic style, this game brings together the interdisciplinary aspects of game development and features unique levels, characters, and sound. Learn more...

Memory Dash

A multiplayer game designed for Apple’s iPhone, puzzle-based Memory Dash is inspired by the classic game of Memory/Concentration—with a twist. The game features a competitive memory-matching round and a cooperative product sorting-and-guessing round. You compete in real-time, flipping over cards that contain eBay items from real, up-to-date listings. Then you sort the cards together, and read your opponent’s mind to gain more points for both of you! Learn more...

Adaptive Enemy-Based Gameplay

Obsidian challenges you to defeat a single enemy controlled by an adaptive artificial intelligence system in a multiplayer game environment. This is a concept piece for a larger game in which a team of agile players battle lumbering monsters in diverse environments. Use your speed, skills, and teamwork—along with an assortment of spears, swords, and daggers—to take down the beast. Learn more...

Robogeddon

Modern role-playing games often require players to take on the role of a single protagonist, valiantly fending off overwhelming enemy hordes manipulated by a sinister mastermind. In Robogeddon you become the “mastermind of the hordes,” with seemingly endless armies set on the path of destruction. This real-time-strategy game is intended to entice new players and diminish the genre’s steep learning curve, while providing the classic feel. Learn more...

Interactive media and gaming provide a wildly popular source of entertainment.

WPI is home to one of the earliest and top-ranked academic programs in this field. Our Interactive Media & Game Development (IMGD) majors receive a base education in both the artistic and technical aspects of interactive media, underscoring the importance of blending art with technology, and the close working relationships required between artists and programmers.

Merging Art with Technology

Our goal at WPI is to create leading-edge technical artists and creative programmers. To that end, students jump right in and spend their time focusing on hands-on projects and collaborations—creating games, interactive fiction, virtual environments, art installations, and collaborative performances, or inventing entirely new forms of media.
