    Extended Course Description

    n436 is a class that seeks to make "Games-For-Good" and for the betterment of the public and our students. Each semester a brand-new topic or idea is proposed and students work all semester to bring it to life. It is then displayed at a venue for public play. In the past, we have made multi-year spanning ARGs for GenCon, PopCon, and ComicCon while at other times we have made personal games for children getting over cancer. Our current game is a traditional board game with cutting edge haptic technology attached to stretch the boundaries of both digital and analog gaming. Afterwards, out students can use these projects as solid portfolio pieces to show game companies they have experience with completing a game and showcasing it to the public.
