Description

This course provides an introduction to the history of games, terminology and principles of game design and game mechanics. We also explore the development of analog games and game systems from inception through play-testing and prototyping. Students learn to analyze, design, prototype and document different non-digital games using professional work flows for game development of non-digital and digital games.
