Course Description

Advanced Game Design course requires students to engage with the practical process of game design more extensively, building on the various design topics they have studied in previous courses. Emphasis will be placed on the development of pixel art, ranging from low resolution 16 color sprites to the creation of larger, more detailed tiles typically used in the modern gaming industry. Within the context of the course, students will be asked to make connections between the design and the programming aspects of game production, with assignments focusing on the development of tile sheets and pixel art for engines used in modern game design.
