Project 2: Digital Game
In groups of 5-7 students, design and create a digital game (2D or 3D). Use an engine or editor the group feels the most comfortable with: Unity, Unreal, Godot, PyGame, mygamebuilder, GameMaker, etc. something else or even a mod. You will be graded on the GDD, concept/design, innovation, fun, execution and polish. The focus is on having a completed game using mechanics and design decisions learned in the class.
