The Project

Project Description
Our goal is to create a Serious Game. Serious Games are interactive tools that often address concerns such as social stratification, environmental awareness, and cultural injustice.

First, smaller pitch groups will brainstorm together and present their idea to the rest of the class. As a class, we’ll democratically select the theme and game type. As decisions and content are finalized, they will be added to our Design Document. The “doc” will serve as a very detailed description of the mechanics, story, art, charters and sound of 34e game. View the document template.

Chapters of the design document will be completed by three specific departments of students. Visit each Department page to read about their responsibilities.
