CGE401

Central to this course is a team project that produces a threedimensional and interactive game using a game-development platform, such as Unity. This is a course that enrolls Computer Game and Entertainment Technology (CGE) and Digital Media (DM) students taking the game design track. CGE students apply programming and software development toward the main game project. DM students focus on the art, music, and/or sound assets. CGE students learn how to incorporate the artificial intelligence and physics into games using the game development platform and DM students learn how to incorporate and integrate created assets into the game. Several small projects are used to learn how to use specific aspects of the development platform. Beyond the software development side, project management and planning tools and techniques are introduced and are used to organize assets, workflows, tasks, versions, testing, and personnel. Both CGE and DM students study the project management aspects of game development. Prerequisites: CGE 303 and CGE majors must also take CS 255.
