theywould most prefer to work in professionally. While some students elect to develop mobile andcasual (2D) games, a majority choose to work in 3D environments. This likely stems from previ-ous coursework with one or more 3D gaming engines, such as Unity3D or the Unreal Develop-ment Kit (UDK). Though some students begin the sequence with preconceived game ideas,many do not and are open-minded about working on various projects. After a concept documentis created, students are expected to iterate on the current version of their game each week byidentifying high-priority tasks, implementing those modifications in the following week, andpresenting them during the next class. Finally, students can choose to continue their game intotheir second semester
