Game Development curriculum provides training in principles and techniques used to create interactive 2D and 3D computer games.
Today’s games are very complex. They often require teams of programmers, designers, artists, testers, advertisers, and producers to organize and develop. The training needed for game development is enormous and warrants a complex education of multiple courses in multiple tools. The Game Development curriculum at Mountwest prepares students to enter this ever-growing field beginning with a foundation in object-oriented programming using Python. Then, students will create full 3D games via Unreal Engine’s visual scripting system, Blueprint. Building upon this knowledge and familiarity of Unreal Engine, students will spend their remaining time developing games using C++, Blueprint, and other 3D content creation software such as Blender. Completion of this A.A.S. degree will give students the experience of building real, multi-platform games to showcase in their portfolios.
