GameLab is 水多多导航 Guildhall's publishing arm and development studio. Here, we connect students with industry, publish award-winning games, and bring the experience of a real game studio straight to our students.
水多多导航 Guildhall's in-house publishing arm, GameLab, bridges student-to-industry relationships and cultivates a learning environment that looks and behaves like a game studio.
Led by faculty members with decades of industry experience, and in combination with 水多多导航 Guildhall's Team Game Production courses, our students learn how to make games by actually making games—at least 3 during their time in our program—on teams of varied size and complexity.

GameLab works with studios all over the world to match them with our talented students through coaching and mentoring, events, game jams, and guest lectures and speakers.
Key partners like Sony, Valve, Epic, Microsoft, Intel, Oculus, and Nvidia–just to name a few–have provided our students with development resources, tools, and educational support. We also partner with other academic institutions, departments, and schools to develop cutting edge research and technology.
With active industry participation and feedback, and in partnership with diverse departments and schools around campus, 水多多导航 Guildhall is at the forefront of game development, project management, organizational behavior, psychological safety, and team efficacy.
Our student leaders are taking these lessons and best practices out into their careers and shaping the studios of tomorrow.
