"If you consider the number of potential video game developers in Razavi Khorasan Province, along with the people who already study computer engineering at this university, the Ferdowsi University of Mashhad has every means necessary to lay the foundation for video game industry in the province," he said, according to Mehr News Agency.
He also declared that ICVGF intends to fully support the university’s video game development efforts, and that a game jam will be held there late in September.
"Anyone who wants to, [including] both teachers and students who are members of the university’s video games society, may take part in this program and help develop the video game industry," Sa’id Abrishami, a computer engineering teacher at FUM, added.
Meanwhile, Tasnim News Agency also reports that the video games developers at the Ferdowsi University intend to produce games that would be “morally” and “mentally” different from those manufactured by Western companies.
