Lindenwood University’s Game Design department introduces students to the fundamental concepts of game design and the development process through applied projects. These projects range in topics from physical game prototyping, creation and development of concept art and art assets, and technical execution through coding and visual scripting. The Game Design program puts a focus on the design side of games and emphasizes moving through the creative process from conception to finished games. Students get hands-on experience working with industry-standard game engines, tools, approaches, and workflows.
