#	Key Learning Outcomes
1	Follows current literature in game studies to develop research questions and reports findings in accordance with academic writing standards.
2	Develops high-quality game prototypes using modern game engines and advanced technologies (AI, XR, Ray Tracing) while optimizing technical performance and hardware constraints
3	Analyzes player data using statistical and machine learning methods to manage game balance, user retention, and personalized experience design processes.
4	Integrates conceptual design, sound/music architecture, and advanced narrative techniques within a framework unified by game mechanics and human-computer interaction principles.
5	Analyzes digital games within semiotic and cultural contexts; evaluates the impact of in-game symbols, mechanics, and ethical values on player perception.
6	Plans game production processes using agile methodologies; develops ethics-oriented revenue models and sustainable business strategies to manage project budget, risk, and schedule.
7	Designs serious games, simulations, or experimental interaction environments for different disciplines using gamification and game-based learning theories.
8	Acts with a sense of social responsibility regarding ethical issues such as data privacy, representation justice, and labor rights within the game development ecosystem.
