GAM 344: Game Development II (Formerly GAM 245)

Students will develop skills in game design and development through the creation of a digital game based on a set of constraints. These constraints may be theme, mechanics, client-based, or similar restrictions on the project. Emphasis will be placed on teamwork and development pipelines for the design and creation of assets and systems. Students will use a combination of prototyping, storyboarding, user stories, character breakdowns, system breakdowns and flowcharts in the design portion of the game. The goals of all design done in this course will focus around designing for particular needs; solving problems identified through the restrictions; and providing transparency via reports and milestone deliverables.
