Week 2 Concept Map

A new Master of Science degree in Computer Science with a focus on Game Development aims to prepare students for the intricate art and science of creating next-generation games. This specialized program is designed to produce graduates with the technical skills and innovative thinking necessary to engineer advanced gaming technologies.

Week 2 Concept Map

Level designers are probably the best known of all game designers, and it's their job to create the level-by-level play in a game. If you've ever jumped when a monster nailed you coming around a corner, discovered a particularly advantageous place to shoot from, or felt tension coming out of an in-game elevator, know that somewhere, there's a level designer who planned that experience for you.

In addition to the BS degree, we designed an MS in Computer Science (Game Development). The goal of this degree program is to graduate professionally educated students capable of engineering next-generation games and their required technologies.

Lead designers are responsible for managing a team of designers and making sure that the game's overall vision is achieved. As a lead, you will put out fires, do what needs to be done, maintain a good attitude and teach those working with you the ropes.

The degree, in fact, should look like a cross-disciplinary double major in computer science and game development and be definitely harder.

I will use an scholarly source.

Across all programming job titles, the group claims a very high income commensurate with experience: those with six or more years earned an average of $121,924.

I will use a scholarly source.

Results showed that the average U.S. salary across the games industry in 2011 was $81,192, virtually flat from the previous year, which saw an overall average of $80,817.

Game design is a competitive business, and in order to secure a position as a junior designer you’ll need to put yourself above the rest.

I will use a non-scholarly source.
