Battle Royale Gamers
July 31 – August 4, 1 – 4 p.m.
Fans of Fortnite and Rumbleverse, we need YOU! Instead of just playing a multiplayer game, you can develop your own with Unity, a professional 3D game development software. Design your own unique magical level, build 3D models, and cast spells with custom-created wands. At the end of the week, all student-created maps are combined into a master game where you will battle to become the last wizard standing. Compete against other schools across the country in our Esports League, with the possibility of having your map included in the live game. Student-created games will be available on a password-protected Black Rocket website to share with friends and family.
