Digital Game design with Forest Park students

OSA held programming during the month of November on Arts and Technology put together by Penny Shaw that featured Forest Park students that had created their own video games and animations. The Students in the course of months went from plotting and structuring their ideas through power points to encoding their designs into utility and visual studio. The video games ranged from side scrollers with pixels created in Photoshop to first person shooters made through blendr. The feat of creating a video game has changed over the last 4 decades, what use to take a whole studio building to create in the span of a year now has become a solo accomplishment for highschool students in the span of at least 3 months. With the assistance of websites and software like Unity, and visual studio, coding has become an easier step to the language these fun past times rely on. However this doesn’t mean this makes the completion process any easier, there is still rigorous work put into the designing and testing phases along with the general coding. Below we feature some of the students and their dreams along with their works.
