Game Design and Implementation

Albany Campus

Game Design and Implementation is a two-year program for students interested in the creative worlds of video game design, 3-D modeling, and computer programming

Students learn the history of games from ancient times to present. They create board games, card games and dice games while learning the fundamentals of Game Design. Then students create digital games using Game Maker software, GameSalad and Unity.

Students will explore various art concepts during the first year and 3D modeling during the second year. Finally, students will design their own video games in groups as well as create a virtual video game design company.
