This opens a new door to not only commercial opportunities, but also provides a great medium for socio-cultural awareness, which is what makes video game development the prime focus of DSU media Lab. There are several game development projects in the works at DSU Media Lab covering a wide area of gaming categories including RPG, Strategy, VR and AR. With access to cutting edge hardware and armed with expertise in industry standard tools, DSU Media Lab is set to become a leading force in Pakistan’s video game industry.
