Through our Video Game Development program, students get immersed into the world of gaming. Each participant learns about prototyping, narrative design, asset creation, testing and release. Students will become well-versed in interactive storytelling techniques, game design and game audio, while learning strategic software platforms. Finally, students will also gain insight into what it is like to bring a game into production in the industry.
This program is designed to provide students with an understanding of the concepts, principles, and
techniques required to develop computer games. Game development refers to the process of
creating a video or computer game, from the initial conception of the idea all the way to the quality
assurance and testing stage, after which the game will be ready for mass production and
distribution.

Game developers may be involved in various aspects of a game’s creation from concept and story
writing to coding and programming. Entry-level and junior game programmers typically use basic
tools and programming languages to add small elements to games. They are also expected to keep
up with changing technology. Game developers create almost everything from scratch, including
the characters, story, format, layout, and many more. With this knowledge, developers can play
many roles such as a programmer, a sound designer, an artist, a designer, and a tester. In today’s
technology world, you need more than one skill to be successful.
