Multi-semester long projects for this class include a visual novel game made in Ren'Py that focuses on social media and the increasingly digital lifestyle we face in relation to the people we interact with, as well as a psuedo-virtual world game made in Construct 3 that revolves around the idea of early online presence and identity.
