3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisite(s): None Currently offered: Spring 2008: Day/Evening (4) Description: How did the game industry evolve into the eye-popping, genre-driven, electronic industry it is today? We examine the history of electronic games, the evolution of the computer and console market, and a host of today's most influential and significant games. Then we turn a critical eye toward testing games, learning to tune gameplay designs for increased playability and fun. As we play-test Beta versions of games to uncover and fix as many defects as possible, we'll also learn how to design effective tests, use bug database software, and interpret player feedback. Firsthand experience is invaluable when it comes to evaluating and tuning the strength of your own game designs.

3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisite(s): Only Game Majors may enroll in this course. Currently offered: Spring 2008: Day/Evening (2) Description: What's the difference between an FPS and an RPG? Are discovery and exploration important in every style of game, or can they detract from a cool game concept? We answer these questions by examining genres in games and analyzing some of the gameplay styles associated with them. Then, once we've discovered strengths and weaknesses inherent to particular game styles, we'll develop skills necessary to formulate and evauluate our own original gameplay ideas.

An introduction to 3-dimensional computer animation gives the advanced student a hands-on appreciation for what it takes to work in the animation industry. Basic principles of 3D modeling, lighting and movement will be explored. This studio class relies on the student's drive to experiment and dive into extremely complex computer programs. A 3D animated "short" comprising of student created models, environments and textures will be the culminating outcome of the course.

Credits: 3 Prerequisite(s): ART-110 Currently offered: Spring 2008: Day/Evening (2) Description: All video game players know the thrill of becoming lost in the game. But how do game designers create such absorbing spaces, figures and action? This class is your opportunity to master the principles that will give life to your drawings and create believable game space of the fantastic. Unlike traditional drawing classes, Drawing for Game Design explores proportion, muscle and skeletal movement and the figure/ground relationship by working from interacting models that pose with props and costumes. The result will be disciplined drawing skills that will help you to realize the dynamic figures of your own imagination.

Credits: 3 Prerequisite(s): EGD-210 Only Game majors may enroll in this course. Currently offered: Spring 2008: Day/Evening (2) Description: Telling stories in games is not like telling stories in movies or books: the addition of interactivity robs writers of many of the tools used to create emotion, develop character arcs, and even maintain a consistent plot line. This class examines the conflicting demands of gameplay and story, and then discusses alternate story-telling methods that can transform stories in games from simplistic, clunky add-ons into mature and compelling art forms.
