Game Design - GD2024

Course Description

This online, interactive journey explores the general concepts of game design from initial idea to finished concept. Students will develop and build prototype games, playtest designs, and learn to critically evaluate systems with respect to formal and dramatic elements, and system dynamics. As a cohort of peers, students will develop computer games (artifacts) using suitable game engines and libraries. Software development expertise is not required. Students will learn how to prototype using low code / no code techniques. They will be required to keep a game journal to document their game ideas and to keep track of games played outside of class. As a team, peers will take an active role in design activities, exhibit good sportsmanship, and provide positive feedback. As a capstone project, each student will prepare a Game Design Document and develop a Game of their own design. Qualifies for the Game Design digital badge.
