Assignment 1: Individual Game, Artworks, or Sounds

Goals #

  • Get familiar with Unity
  • Demonstrate your strength and skills for video game design to others

Description #

In this assignment:

  • CS students will individually develop a game using Unity. An acceptable example of the individual game could be a pinball game developed in Unity that launches at least one ball and has two paddles (and at least some obstacles) to deflect the ball.
  • Art students will create at least TWO artworks (e.g., 3D models, 2D sprites, textures, animations, etc.). Incorporate these visual designs into an existing Unity template game.
  • Music students will create at least THREE original sound designs, such as game music or sound effects. Incorporate these sound designs to into an existing Unity template game.

All students will create a video to demonstrate your game/artworks/sounds and post on YouTube.
