DSC 200 - Data-Oriented Design for Game Development

3 Credit Hours

Students will develop a practical understanding of 3D animation and computer-generated imagery (CGI) by manipulating space and form to create three-dimensional (3D) animated text, graphics, and characters that can be used in games, multimedia and transmedia, and other data visualization applications. Working on multiple projects, students will decide on a game’s and/or animation’s features, design the story or purpose, create models from complex data, determine needed assets, and present to classmates for feedback and critique.

Students will apply data analytics to track user performance, and make predictions to increase user engagement. Students will also learn how emerging technologies are shaping the entertainment and media industries and how to prepare for careers in this dynamic industry.
