The Capstone project is a place for you to develop your game idea into a fully-fleshed proposal. A game design document is your game bible, the go-to document that defines the genre of your game, its look and feel, and the evolution of gameplay. This four-part capstone project guides you to distill and improve the foundational aspects of your game so that you may express your ideas in a clear and productive way.

来自GAME DESIGN DOCUMENT: DEFINE THE ART & CONCEPTS的热门评论
由 FR 提供Jun 1, 2016
The course was nicely prepared and structured, in my opinion it lacked a bit of content compared to the rest of the specialization. But it's a good rounding up of everything we learned before.
由 AM 提供Feb 19, 2018
Very hands on and creative. Pushed my ideas to the paper and to develop further and better than I would ever without guidance. Thank you so much.
由 MT 提供Jun 13, 2018
I really liked the way this course was designed. It helped me revise some forgotten concepts when I was studying.
由 MP 提供Oct 11, 2016
Excellent specialization, I have learned a lot of how to create a Game Design Document and a prototype.
关于 游戏设计：艺术和概念 专项课程
Stemming from the principles of storytelling and design established in CalArts’ renowned Animation programs, this Specialization lays a primary foundation for experimentation and exploration of video game design, story, character development, and winning gameplay before programming begins. These four courses emphasize the self-reliance and personal expression of the gaming artist, and encourage you to take conceptual risks and develop new modes of expression and form through gaming. In the final Capstone Project, you’ll put your creative skills to work by generating an engaging game design document for a personal game project, outlining the conceptual, narrative and aesthetic elements of your game.
