ENG 3990J Craft of Video Game Writing
In this course, students will work in teams to design and create a game on an industry-standard game-creation platform such as Twine, Inkle, Unity, Ren'Py, or Gamemaker. They will also learn about and practice writing professional video game documents (including the pitch, the game treatment, the game design document, instructions, walkthroughs, manuals, and tutorials). Some basic coding (for using variables, conditional logic, images, CSS, and JavaScript) will be covered to help students create more engaging games, but coding experience is not required or expected. It is preferable but not required that students take Video Game Writing Workshop before this course. Enrollment is limited to 15 students. (Previously NJCU Course ENGL-399)
