This is an online course.

Games are increasingly recognized as a tool that can serve many business purposes beyond entertainment. This Certificate provides you with a general introduction to what goes into the design and development of both video and analog games, with a particular focus on the use of games outside of consumer entertainment.  In the first course, you will discover resources for developing game design, and identify the mechanics and verbs used in different games. You will come away knowing the different activities that are part of game design, being able to flesh out a game idea to increase the chances of having a successful game design experience and having a basic understanding of how to work with game developers. In the second course, you will learn the basics of the video game design process, learn about the main video game genres, and use a game development application to begin your journey of making games.  By completing this Certificate in Basic Game Design, you will have taken the first steps into understanding game design and being able to create your games.

This includes two classes which may be taken individually or grouped as a certificate:

          Introduction to Game Design - $245;

          Intermediate Game Design - $245;
