In observance of Valentine's day, I think this is a good time to spread the love and brag on your students work a bit.
My capstone course is starting to spin up their culminating projects, which they will work on in teams basically for the rest of the school year to show off at the a game show in Sacramento, the Capital Creative Showcase and a a district event later in the May. I very intentionally tell my students from day 1 that I will let you try a bad idea, because I may be wrong.
One of my groups, from the first day of the capstone said they want to make a 3D factory automation game. A project which I was not sure they would be able to do within the scope of the class. So far they have gotten significantly farther than I would ever have guessed and over the course of a week have a greybox prototype of their core gameplay loop running in unity with the first passes of some of their custom assets. It is insane to me what they have accomplished in roughly two weeks of iteration.
