Cognitive Science 0319 - Interdisciplinary Game Project

In this course, students will delve deeper into game development by getting practice working as a specialized member of a small team. Students will continue to hone game development skills, taking on one of four possible roles: Programmer, Modeler/Animator, Painter, or Audio designer/Project Manager. All students will contribute to the game design. The course will use Unity 3D as the game engine, which is used in many professional game development projects. To ensure balanced teams, the instructor may add students to the course who have specific needed skills (programming, art, design, project management, other). Prerequisite: An evaluation/passing grade from 2 computer science, OR 2 art, OR 2 audio/music courses.

Independent Work Quantitative Skills As with most things, the more time you put into this course, the more you will get out of it. You should expect to spend at least seven hours per week (on average) doing activities outside of class, including assignments, reading, playing, playtesting, experimenting, and anything else related to the subject matter.
