Content

Game Design Elective
In the Game Design elective, you will focus on the design and development of levels in games. This course will help you to develop your skills as a game professional. There will be an individual assignment using theories, tools, and skills used in the work field, to relay your knowledge and skills of level design into a working prototype.
