CIST 2741 - Advanced Game Development

Prerequisite: CIST 2740
Advanced Game Design incorporates all of the basic game design elements into a continuing production process, taking an idea from inception through completion in a timely and cost effective fashion. Each student will be expected to fulfill the duties of each member of a game design team, learning every aspect of the process in order to be able to substitute wherever and whenever necessary. It is suggested that the quality and completeness of a single, class-wide project have some universal impact on the grades of each student, further enforcing the notion that every team member not only participates in the project, but that the project itself affects in the success of each team member. Lab will use industry tools to rapidly prototype ideas into practical game mechanics and provide the foundation for future game projects. Note: Students enrolled in this course will be assessed a $56.24 cost recovery fee in addition to tuition and fees. Fees can change at the end of the semester. Contact hours: Class - 1, Lab - 6. Credit hours: 3 (E)
