    Extended Course Description

    n430 is the final main game track class and requires students to form teams and make a fully published game for public play on Itch.io. Teams can range from a two-person partnership to larger groups of five or six students. Each class examines advanced game design topics, many from GDC speakers, reviews the games in questions, and a series of in-house critique and playtest days prepares the students for their final, big public launch of their games. It is an exciting and intensely engaging class that prepared students for their real-world game design path.
