Then consider studying the Game Development program at CCM. Game Development is a multidisciplinary skillset that includes design, programming, testing, 3D modeling, 2D and 3D animation, user interface design, project management, and audio creation. Everything you see in a game is created and proofed by an artist. Everything you read is written by a writer.<\/p>\n<p>At CCM, you will develop diverse, full-fledged experiences from start to finish, including digital, non-digital, and simulation games, organize a large magnitude of tasks with a team of your peers, understand the impact play and gaming has on societies, and identify, discuss, and solve systemic problems in the game industry. CCM students have made and published over 100 games on platforms like itch.io and Steam.
