  Fellowship of the Game is a non-profit organization of computer games research and development at ICMC-USP. The organization was created to provide graduation students a way of applying their recently acquired knowledge into practical projects in Game Development. It was built as a company, based on departments, trying to extend the team experience to the most professional possible. The group grew to over 30 people and our achievements were:

  • Defining the entity with clear roles, departments and divided responsibilities;
  • Integration into the official research groups within the University;
  • Provide students a place to learn and experiment with entrepreneurship;
  • Establish extracurricular support and periodic game development events;
  • Solidify the culture in a stable group that lives and operates to the day.

  Activities in the role of General Coordinator included:

  • Define and maintain development and organizational processes;
  • Planning, assessing risks and defining roadmaps;
  • Create strategies and a vision for the team;
  • Gather professor support and sponsorships;
  • Provide feedback on targets and achievements to the University;
  • Recruit and train competent members to take ownership of the organization;
  • Incentive participation in national and international game development events,
