Design and Build a Game!
This course offers a great introduction to the principles of game design including interactive storytelling, character creation, and publishing. Our hands-on, design-thinking approach encourages students to unleash their inner designer as well as work collaboratively with other students as they create video games that can be played on a variety of devices.
In this course, students will discover the immersive world of game development and learn key game design principles including game theory, character creation, digital storytelling, and publishing. Students will build and customize game elements using Tiled and Piskel, and practice problem-solving, and design creative solutions in a supportive community of burgeoning designers. At the end of the week, students can take your creation home to share with friends and family.
