IDM 275A - Game Design Studio

Credits: 3

Course will show students what it takes to play and create their own complex games. Students who are interested in entering the industry will benefit from this in-depth approach. Planning, organization, and writing skills will be emphasized, and projects will accompany what is covered in every unit. The game designs will be “pencil and paper” games, built as hands-on prototypes. This will allow students to concentrate on Game Design, rather than learning a new (digital) tool. Using standard art supplies will allow students to rapidly prototype, playtest, and revise games faster than any other way.
