CCNY STEM Institute Incubator Spring 2025

The first session of the CCNY STEM Incubator was a vibrant gathering of talent and imagination, bringing together returning students from our Intro to Game Development course and fresh faces eager to dive into the world of interactive creation.

Over the course of the program, students poured their energy into crafting projects that ranged from deeply personal concepts to wildly imaginative gameplay experiences. In total, 12 unique games emerged.

Of those, three projects stood out as fully realized enough to be published independently on itch.io, marking a significant milestone in their journey as developers and storytellers. These games not only highlight their creators’ passion and discipline but also serve as the first building blocks of strong professional portfolios.
