COMP23: GAME DESIGN:
PAST PROJECTS

"The worst thing a kid can say about homework is that it is too hard. The worst thing a kid can say about a game is it's too easy." -- Henry Jenkins


Below are all final projects from each semester Game Design has run at Tufts University since 2015.
Sometimes, students take their interest in Game Design further and create Senior Capstone Project Games
