Important Learning Approach
AI tools are used to support ideation, concept development, asset generation, and production speed.
Students will continue to learn the essential traditional skills required for professional game design.
Game Design Fundamentals • Level Design • Maya • Substance 3D Painter • Unreal Engine • Game Art
Workflow • Gameplay Testing • Portfolio Development
AI supports the game designer and production workflow; it does not replace core game design, art, or engine skills.
