In MST 350 - Understanding Video Games, offered in Fall 2026, we'll embark on an exploration of contemporary games and gaming culture. As this is an intermediate-level course, we'll be diving into complex subjects, from narrative design to contemporary issues in gaming.

Some things to know:
- This course will involve a mix of reading about, playing, and making games.
- Over the course of the term, you’ll develop six small game "experiments" using a variety of tools and formats.
- This course is structured as a quest-based adventure game: you will have lots of flexibility in choosing which assignments to complete!

For more information or to request manual enrollment, email the instructor, Dr. PB Berge ([email protected]).
