Taking the Controller:

The Positive Reach of Video Games

Taking the Controller: The Positive Reach of Video Games | Arts & Comms: Behind the Stories Season 3

Students in the Center for Animation at BYU directed and created a new video game, “Liminus,”which explores the space between life and death. Ranked as one of the top five gaming programs in the nation, the center produces an original short film and video game every year to help students succeed in the field. Professor Kelly Loosli hopes his students will be an influence for good in the gaming industry.
