We have added an extra hour to the course to reflect the amount of work that you do for this course, particularly in the group work. This extra hour labelled as the course ENGRC 3152. All students must sign up for this course, even those that are not taking the course for Technical Writing credit. If you do not sign up for that course, you will be dropped from this course.

There is a textbook for this course. The text is a "soft reference". We will assign reading from the text, and you should definitely own the text if you are serious about game design. With that said, you will never be tested on the textbook material.

If you are looking into a used version of the textbook. However, be aware that there are several editions. These editions differ only in the chapters that we do not use. Therefore, you may use any edition of this textbook as you wish as long as it is at least the 2nd edition.

This course was as difficult as usual to get in. There were approximately 150 applications, which was twice the number of slots available (we only have room for 72 students). Preference was given to students attempting to complete the game design minor, or teams of students that were pre-formed before getting into the course.

With that said, there are always more openings during the first two weeks of class. We historically get 5 or 6 drops in the first two weeks. If you received an e-mail telling you that you are on the wait list, feel free to come to the first day of class. We will have a better idea of openings at that time.
