Students are guided by instructors with industry experience, and receive an honest evaluation of their work. Classes in the Game Design and Development degree program at Brown College include:

Storyboarding and Scriptwriting

The purpose of this Game Design course is to cultivate project development and production skills within the context of script writing and storyboard preparation. Students have the opportunity to pitch ideas, develop stories, prepare text treatments, and visually translate their scripts into storyboards, focusing on the sequence, layout, and design of material for animation projects. Final storyboards are cleaned-up for standalone presentation.

Multiplayer Gaming and Networking

This Game Design class examines the construction of interactive 3-D game environments that function across networks and multiple platforms in real-time. Topics include network programming concepts, client/server networking and data exchange, database design, OpenGL, applets, sockets, and network-related objects in Java.

Digital Audio for Gaming

This serves as an introduction to digital audio production and postproduction technology for computer games. Students have the opportunity to learn principles, equipment, and software used to record and edit sound, and will examine various digital audio compression and distribution formats. Sound theory, lip-syncing, Foley sound, and audio reproduction techniques will be explored.

Game Design IV

This course involves the advanced design and animation of 3-D characters and props for computer games. Topics include creating completed characters that are animated, textured, and ready for import into the chosen game engine. The details of model efficiency, seamless texture mapping, and advanced animation will be discussed.

Artificial Intelligence

This Game Design course examines the programming of intelligent behaviors for gaming opponents. Students have the opportunity to create pursuit and avoidance algorithms, design AI paths, write collision detection scripts, and develop varying levels of aggression for non-player entities.
