GAME AESTHETICS
INSTRUCTOR: KIERAN NOLAN
ACADEMIC YEAR: 2018-2019; 2017-2018
Choosing the most appropriate language to express a game design idea is just as important as selecting the most effective technology, or the right marketplace. GAME AESTHETICS provides an introduction to alternative aesthetics in contemporary game development, from interaction dynamics to visual style. It explores all aspects of representation in games - from simulation to abstract play, from photorealism to low-poly art, from digital expressionism to radical punk aesthetics - providing students valuable experience using various languages, strategies, and methods that can be applied to their projects. This extended workshop will assist students in identifying and achieving their unique style.
