CIS 300: Introduction to Computer Game Design

Assignment 0
Preferences and Skills

In order to form the groups for the the game projects semester, I need to know what kinds of games you all want to work on, and what skills sets each of you has. The goal is to form balanced groups which share similar development interests. Obviously, it is infeasible to make groups that are always perfectly balanced and in synch, but this information will help us get a lot closer.

 

Submit a file prefs.txt via CMS containing the following:

  1. Your name, netID, year and college

  2. Your area of expertise (programming, art, writing, music)

  3. Any secondary areas of expertise.

  4.  In 1-3 sentences, describe the kind of game you want to work on. You can speak in terms of genre or setting or gameplay or anything else you like. 

  5. Any particular people you would like to work with (no guarantees)

  6. (Optional) Any additional information you would like me to consider when forming groups

 

Keep in mind the requirements (see the course page) for CIS300 games. Remember that you will only have 4-6 people working part time for a few months on your game, so it will have to be reasonable - think small but clever.

 

Due Friday, August 25th at 11:59pm through CMS. Submit a file called prefs.txt.
