week of 9/14 and we’ll do some brainstorming and some game jamming to decide on the class project (s). The German students will do some downstate touring the week of the 21st while the US team preps for the development phase and readies for full-on development. The German team will begin their classes on 10/06 and at that point the rest of the course will then be spent on project work. This course will be followed in the Spring by the seminar in the German game industry. Students in that course will travel to Germany at the end of May. This class will be restricted in size based on the number of students Paderborn can take in an exchange program, so a one-to-one mapping of RIT students from the first class to the second is not a certainty and additional fees for travel will be part of the registration for that course. Production Studio: Professor Egert, IGME 580-02, TR 8-9:15am Students will develop their own ideas for interactive games and digital experiences. The focus of the section will be KickStarter based approaches, incorporating promotion and marketing into the development cycle and getting the most from any type of KickStarter style exposure. Students will be responsible for producing a credible prototype of their idea and will also be required to produce materials over the semester that mirror the production cycle of an online campaign. Students are NOT required to actually create a KickStarter, but will understand the process. Job Opportunities Opportunity for summer: Students offered a position should contact Prof. Schwartz to confirm that it covers a Mobile Game Programming (2 coops): Building an Audio Game for the Blind using Java/APK on Eclipse Contact Professor Jacobs at with the subject “Audio Game” Job is Offered through Simone Center for Innovation and Invention Crowd-Sourced News Reporting App “Yeller" for WXXI Search Job Zone for WXXI Front-end (1 person) and Back End Web (one person) Programming for UNICEF Innovation Working on/adapting an instance of the Open Source project MIDAS.
