ABSTRACT
The Games and Simulation Arts and Sciences at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute curriculum was undergoing significant changes. The most important one to me was the creation of a writing for games concentration instead of just a class or two. Tower defense games are a type of strategy games where players try to secure their territory from invaders with a variety stationary structures that contain either attack or defensive capabilities. Each project is called an adventure in the game. Each adventure has a theme and a tangible goal to attain. The first adventure was themed “School Layout and Planning” and its goal was for the students to build comfort areas and amenities to improve the quality of life in the school. The second adventure was “Processing Agricultural Products” and the goal was to organize a school event where students would bake and share bread with parents and educators.
