Game Design

Video games are an increasingly important part of contemporary life and entertainment.

The GAME program prepares students to collaborate and lead in the creation of games — from the underlying programming that helps a game come to life to the design and presentation of a game’s visual, audio and interactive experiences.

GAME is offered concurrently at Brock and Niagara College. As a Game Design student, you will gain a broad range of skills related to game mechanics, storytelling, character and level design, 3D modelling, audio immersion, and user interface design, among other topics. You’ll 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, you’ll work in collaborative groups to create game components, prototypes and fully realized games.
