Students from the Novel Game Design Lab built an arcade cabinet as part of their VIP program. The initiative was primarily led by Justin Graham and Joshua Whorton and resulted in a cabinet in KSU’s colors. CCSE provided the computer components. The project was exhibited at the fall 2022 Symposium of Student Scholars. The cabinet will be used to demonstrate and collect data about games from the lab, and to be used as a platform for interaction design for games.
