Video games are an increasingly important part of contemporary life and entertainment. The GAME program prepares students to share and even lead in the creation of games — from the programming that makes a game work, to the design and realization of dynamic experiences, and the planning and management of production processes.
GAME is offered concurrently at Brock and Niagara College. The program provides opportunities to explore the game space from every angle. Students will gain a broad understanding of this complex field as they look at game programming, multiple game engines, game platforms, and various design and production paradigms. They will also examine core issues that surround games such as play, agency, narrative, dynamics and immersion.
Intensive production courses are offered in Years 2, 3 and 4 of the program. In these courses students will work on collaborative teams to create game components, prototypes and fully realized games.
