DGA* 296: Game Studio Project

3 Credits
In this course students will work as part of a team to develop a semester long collaborative time based or interactive project from concept to development and then to completion. Students will utilize skills from all previous courses in documentation, concept development, visual narrative design, animation (where applicable), game level design (where applicable), 3D asset development, project management, asset development, time management and communication skills. Students will work in teams of at least two to develop and create this project over the course of the semester.
Students will work independently, outside of the classroom setting and within the classroom workshop time to develop their project. Students will report in on their progress through professional documentation and industry standard project management tools for game development and animation studios. Students will plan out a schedule of deliverables and will meet throughout the semester with the instructor and each of the other teams to give critique on existing assets and the direction of future assets. This course is designed to come near the end of the student’s program so that they have the necessary skills to fully avail themselves of the experience.
