Video Game Design

“Reality is broken. Game designers can fix it,” writes Jane McGonigal, world-renowned video game designer. Games have been an integral part of human culture throughout history. They not only entertain, but also inform and change us. Today video games designer bring together art & code to immerse players in a story. There are video games being created to solve real-world problems and video game players solving scientific mysteries. The Video Game Design workshop is my favorite to run because it really unleashes students' creativity through storyboarding, character creation and game development.
