What Students Are Saying

What Students Are Saying

"Prior to this course, I could barely get a recreation of pong functional. Now, I am confident in my ability to create GDD's, develop prototypes, iterate, conduct and learn from play tests, and cast myself as a designer with industry-relevant skills that go beyond what happens in a game engine. I also came out with a few portfolio pieces, and my own website."
