Aesthetics that inspire, and animation that brings the world to life — learn to create the look, the feel, and the movement that drive the best games, while honing your ability to execute concepts within a team-driven setting.

Game Designers craft the architecture, create the experiences and tell the stories that set games in motion and establish believable, interactive worlds. Beginning with studies of scripting, writing, production, group dynamics and visual and interactive aesthetics, you’ll choose a focus of game system design, level design or game writing.

Building on your core studies, you’ll work with faculty and Champlain peers from each of the other game development majors on original projects. At Champlain you’ll hone your ability to concept a game, then design it, and, finally, to produce it in a collaborative, team-based real-world studio work setting.
