Game Development

Media Design School is the only tertiary institute in New Zealand where students can develop for Playstation platforms with console development kits, due to an exclusive partnership with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. Graduates have gone on to work at a variety of game development studios, such as PikPok, Bohemia Interactive, Grinding Gear Games, Gameloft, EA Digital Illusions CE, RocketWerkz and CerebralFix. Ninja Kiwi, who developed the popular Bloons Tower Defense game, was also founded by a graduate of the game development course.

The joint game development department also runs an annual national initiative called Girls in Games, focused on providing experience in programming and game art for high-school aged female students based in the North Island.

In 2015, Media Design School Studios was established as the first games focused accelerator programme in a New Zealand tertiary institution. This programme has resulted in commercial releases such as Split (Itsfine Games), Dolly (MA Studios) and Tons of Guns (Voidworks) on Valve's Steam platform.
