This is GD4000, Game Design Seminar.

Course website: https://homework.quest/

You’re going to work together as a team to build a game.

If we had more people, we might have more teams, but with three that’s one team.

Semester Plan
#

  • This week: Figure out what we’re doing, when we’re meeting, and when you’re all meeting each week.
  • Week 02: Figure out what game you’re building and how.
  • Week 03: Finish project charter, start working.
  • Week 05: Present Proof of Concept
  • Week 08: Present Alpha
  • Week 11: Present Half Done Game
  • Finals Week: Submit and Present Completed Game

Idea: Tool Selection
#

  • Previously this class required GameMaker
  • This semester, you’ll pick (and justify) your dev tool choices.
  • Options other than GameMaker might be better.

Rest of Period
#

  • Who are you?
  • What kind of game do you want to build?
