Advanced Game Prototyping

Week 6: Take-Home Midterm Exam Game Presentation; Final Course Project Game Pitch

This week's lad is a two-part game demo and pitch session. Alternately, the students will present their midterm theme game that was determined last week to be graded by their classmates. Between each game demo, a different student will 'pitch' his or her three game proposals for their Final Project Game with class serving as a committee-of-the-whole to determine which game idea (or variant thereof) they want to see.

After these demos and pitches, the lecture track will review Concept Documents learned about in Game Prototyping and preview Game Project Plans from Senior Project Planning, the creation of both of these being this week's homework assignment.

The link below is the homework assignment due at the beginning of the next class session.
