Intermediate Game Design Workshop - Fall 2005
http://489.pabit.org
This is a cross-disciplinary game design course. It is sponsored by Maxis – producers of The Sims, Sim City, and other hit titles. The class is built upon the knowledge introduced in the Cinema school’s beginning game design course (CTIN 488) and beginning programming for interactivity course (CTIN 483). It uses Maxis’s Edith Object building environment as a core design and engineering tool. The class is a hands-on workshop that exposes students to advanced concepts in game design, story telling, and Object production. Students will have heavy exposure to Maxis team leaders and will learn team collaboration, digital prototyping, interface design, user testing, hands-on QA, and the generation of a final “build” as practiced in industry.
