Experimenting with Game Development and New Technologies at 
Guiding students with great ideas & interest in the latest technologies
For the last few years we've been assisting the Chair of the Computer Science Department at Rice University with the COMP 460 class. This is a graduate level class for computer science students and graphic arts students. The students form seven to nine teams and pitch a game idea which they then build over a semester. We guide the students throughout the development of their projects and introduce them to the most up-to-date tech to help make their games a success. These students are extremely creative and motivated, and they love incorporating exciting new tech products into their games. If you have a product that can be used in the game industry and you'd like to make it available to young university talent, please contact us!
We Build Apps Too
Here at Mason Software Company we're not just business consultants, we also get our hands dirty building apps, and we love it! So, yes, we understand the latest app technologies and what it takes to go from an idea to a fully-functioning app in the app store.
