Every step in life is made easier through the culmination of the knowledge of our peers. The makers of engaging games and animations (MEGA) RSO hosts heavy involvement from digital animation and game design (DAGD) students.
MEGA aims to improve their students’ abilities by honing their design skills in a time-sensitive manner to prepare students for crunch-time-scenarios. Given 10 to 30 minutes to draw concept art for a hypothetical game, students are able to let their creative energy and self-expression to flow freely.
