Course Description
For the second graduation project, students will continue to develop and enhance the game prototypes they created in the first graduation project. The aim will be to demonstrate the ability to design and produce an original game concept on a platform of their choice. Work will be closely supervised by faculty members. Students will work individually, but they are encouraged to seek the input of their peers in order to test and validate their work. At the end of the semester students will present their projects to a panel of faculty members at the end of the semester for assessment.
