GAM 244: Game Development I

Students will follow the game production cycle as solo developers from initial concept development to prototyping, implementation, playtesting and publishing of a small but polished and complete 2D game experience as a portfolio piece. Class sessions will provide additional theory on game design and development concepts as well as guidance on how to practically apply them. Students will be introduced to version control systems in a game development context. Students are expected to have a good understanding of skills learned in earlier foundational courses and are required to meaningfully engage in peer critiques and self-reflections.
