D&D 어드벤처를 통한 게임 디자인 - 나만의 게임 개발: 던전앤드드래곤

"Dungeons & Design" is a unique 10-week course that combines playing Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) with learning about video game design. 

Why This Approach?
D&D has been essential to my creative design processes in developing games, without which I would not be a game designer today. These are skills that employers actively seek but are rarely addressed in typical D&D classes. That's what sets this course apart.

By playing and analyzing their experiences, students will develop:
• Storytelling and world-building skills
• Understanding of player choice and consequence
• Insight into character development and narrative structure
• Critical thinking about game mechanics and systems
• Professional game design documentation abilities

For Parents
This intensive 10-week program serves as a bridge to professional game development skills. The gaming industry is booming, with vast opportunities across North America and beyond. While coding is crucial, the ability to craft compelling stories and design engaging experiences is what truly distinguishes successful game developers.

Your child will:
• Develop critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills
• Learn collaborative teamwork in a fun, engaging environment
