Intermediate Video Game Design

Please see the video


Worldwide, video game sales including consoles, online, and mobile games are projected to reach $111 billion dollars this year. Mobile games are the fastest-growing segment of the market as more and more people play casual games.

In this intermediate introductory course, you will learn the basics of video game design process, learn about the main video game genres, and use a game development application to begin your journey of making games. Ages 18+

The class meets for four weeks. There is one unit covered per week. The instructor will provide weekly assignments and the students have access to their class 24/7 to study, complete the assignments and take the quizzes. If you get behind one week, that is no problem, you can still make up the work from prior weeks. The important thing is to have all assignments done and quizzes taken satisfactorily prior to the end of the class. Between the start and the end of the class, you have complete flexibility as to when you log in and how much time you spend on the class. If you get stuck with something, you can always email your instructor for help. Lastly, it is expected that each student will make at least one post on the teacher's discussion board per week on questions and topics provided by the instructor. I think this class is a perfect blend of flexibility and structure. This is not a class where you need to be online at a specific time to meet virtually with your instructor and classmates, and neither is it class where you work completely independently without any support or engagement. It blends the two with weekly assignments, accountability and flexibility. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thanks,
