Student goals and capabilities

The Game Development and Interactive Media program is designed to provide students with a wide range of game design development and interactive media expertise.

Students are immersed in the game development process from day one and develop complete video games beginning in their first year. Successful students develop their knowledge and skills in a diverse team environment and learn to work effectively with programmers, artists, and designers to create innovative products that push the medium to its limits.


Beginning in January 2024, teams of 3-5 students will work with your organization to support you with achieving your key business objectives by developing a recommended plan of action.

Project Examples

Requirements

Character and Asset Design

  • work closely with the game design team and use their characters to do the 3D character
  • ensure that the characterโ€™s or assets features are true to what the designers have created
  • use their knowledge of design to produce character animations

Application and Development Including VR

Prototyping

  • Students under your guidance will prototype a specific design concept or game mechanic to prove whether it is a concept worthy of including in a future title.

System Prototyping

  • Students under your guidance will prototype a specific system in the engine of your choice to concept a particular algorithm or interaction component that you have not had the opportunity to put resources towards.

XR application prototyping

  • Students under your guidance will take an existing design concept and demonstrate a prototype of this concept in XR (pick one of AR/VR/MR)

Volumetric Asset Creation

  • Students under your guidance will work to create prototype volumetric assets for use in your mobile, VR, or PC game using our labs' volumetric and photogrammetry capabilities.

Additional company criteria

Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:

Be available for a quick phone call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.

Commit to a minimum of 5 interactions with the five student teams remotely, approximately 4โ€“6 hours minimum over the duration of the project. These contacts are likely to be question/answer sessions or requests for additional information or clarification.

Be available to schedule and attend a final webinar presentation of project results during Week 8 of term. You can select the top one or two team solutions for presentations to minimize the load of multiple presentations.

Be available to attend a single kick-off/project scope meeting with all teams during second week of term. The kick-off will be a Q & A opportunity for all teams to solidify understanding of scope and requirements.

Provide a dedicated contact to answer periodic emails or take phone calls as needed to address student questions in a timely manner. Students will be coached to make judicious use of your time.

Provide team feedback twice over the semester and complete a post course survey.
