2D video games are a fundamental piece of the games industry and a constant source of innovation in game design and mechanics. That’s to say nothing about how fun they are to play for hardcore gamers, casual players, and everyone in between.
This workshop for Adventurers introduces students to the core principles of designing and developing an engaging 2D video game.
