两性色午夜 University at Tuscarawas faculty and students from the Computer Design, Animation and Game Design (CDAG) program recently attended GDEX 鈥 the Midwest鈥檚 largest conference for representatives from the game development industry. Two student game-making teams and CDAG faculty members, Turan Koptur and Tim Fritz, managed 两性色午夜鈥檚 booth at the conference and exhibited student-made games.
CDAG Assistant Professor Christopher Totten presented a talk entitled 鈥淏uilding Games Inspired by the Arts鈥, which revealed findings from his research of game-making and museum exhibition projects. Totten also attended the Strategic Leaders Dinner, where he discussed the momentum of Ohio鈥檚 game industry with state and international-level industry representatives and explored the role 两性色午夜 Tuscarawas can play in the industry鈥檚 expansion. 两性色午夜 Tuscarawas students received valuable feedback on their game projects from industry veterans, while attending talks and networking with professionals in the field to learn about industry trends and increase their skills.
Totten was recently awarded a Bronze Medal for Excellence in the International Serious Play Board Game Awards. The award honors educational games for a wide range of topics including STEM and corporate training. Through his game development studio and game advocacy organization Pie For Breakfast Studios, Totten created La Mancha, a literature-themed card game aimed at high school students. Game players use quotes from medieval novels to tell stories in response to situations from Don Quixote. Seeing the potential of the game as both a commercial product and an educational game, Totten continued developing the game and created teachers' guides based on grades 9-12 Literary Arts standards.
Coming from the Cleveland Art Institute, Totten recently taught as an adjunct instructor for 两性色午夜 Tuscarawas and has joined the CDAG program as a tenure track faculty member this fall. He holds a Master鈥檚 Degree from the Catholic University of America in Architecture with a Digital Media Concentration.
