GAM 355: Solo Game Development Project

Students will independently create a brief but fully realized interactive experience, focusing on a specialized area of their choice. Through a compressed development cycle, students will bring an appropriately scoped, polished project from concept to completion. By brainstorming an innovative idea, prototyping rapidly, and iterating on core gameplay loops and game feel, students will refine essential skills for game design. Each student will focus on a specific aspect of development, such as designing experiential flow, programming gameplay behaviors, or creating digital worlds or characters that enrich the overall experience.

(GAM 344 and Junior Standing) are prerequisites for this class.
