Image of a person wearing headphone in front of a large computer screen showing an active background. Text reads: "WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING". “An outstanding experience. I learned more than I thought I would about Unity and C#, and about game development in general. Egan puts an impressive amount of time and forethought into offering constructive feedback on assignments, which is both valuable to students' learning and encouraging for those of us taking courses in fields we're new to. Kudos to the OCADU SCS team for another accessible, richly conceptualized program. Student from Game Design Studio 2: Mechanics and Gameplay, Summer 2025”
