Game Design Our students work with innovative production processes including 3D modeling, animation, programming, visual design, audio, interactive storytelling, and game production, as well as theory, criticism, and context of video game culture and digital media. While creating interesting and usable content, you’ll build character development skills.
Master the use of rule design, play mechanics, and social game interaction while you integrate visual, audio, tactile, and textual elements into a total game experience. As a Game Design major at CIA you will be able to create 3D modeling digital visualizations that use processing, organic and inorganic modeling, construction of compound objects, 3D primitive construction and modeling, and resolution and tessellation of 3D objects and formats.
In team production courses, you’ll learn more about programming by working with computer science students from Case Western Reserve University’s School of Engineering. We know that your major requires extensive technology use, so you’ll have access to more than just our state-of-theart computer labs. With your ID card you can check out the latest equipment for digital video, lighting, and sound. You can work in a networkconnected video-editing suite,
a sound editing and recording facility, and two shooting spaces with studio lighting capabilities—one studio has a green Chroma Key, a black screen, and a gray screen. Faculty who have proven success in digital media and game design will also help connect you with their network of game design professionals. In addition, we strongly emphasize writing, storyboarding, cinematic, motion, and directing skills.
