Details about each assignment will be linked from the individual pages below.
(based on contributions to discussions about games and lectures)
Yes, you are required to play some games for this course. More info to be shared in class, but you will be asked to share some details about what you are playing.
Using the Unity Game Engine, you will create interactive media. The goal isn't to create a game. We’ll get there in the next few projects. Here you are free to experience the joy of enabling human input with consequential results.
Create a game that is played over approximately two minutes. No more.
Proposal: Dev Journal Entry before 11/8
Core Mechanic: In-class 11/14
Prototype: In-class demos on 12/5
Create a game that is expressive in some way (cultural, political, etc) and the theme/topic you choose is reinforced by the game mechanics you implement.
You will maintain a "Development Journal" throughout the semester to help track progress through assignments and promote experimentation while you develop games. This creative and functional document should reflect your own approach to tackling game design issues.
