This special-topics course introduces students to the process of creating computer games in a multidisciplinary team setting, covering design, programming, asset creation, and testing. The course is designed to provide students with an experience similar to working in a game studio, and would be of interest to anyone looking to enter the games industry, or wanting to know how developing games can become research for graduate school, or just exploring their options.
