I’m only a first year but I know a good deal from speaking to upperclassmen.
CS:GD is the more common acronym.
CMPS 80K is the intro course, I HIGHLY recommend you take it. Great professor, and it lets you learn and practice game design without knowing programming. Plus, the games made in class get judged by people from EA and other companies.
The senior game design courses are very work-intensive. The groups can be as small as 3 and as large as…I’m not even sure. They aim to have a game retail-ready by the end of the year. Some groups but their games up on the iTunes store or other online stores, depending on the platform they developed the game for.
Only dislike I have is that you often get partnered with people not on your skill level, which can be difficult to deal with.
