FM150VG: Video Games Studies

Projects

Here is where we will exhibit student projects.  As this website is my project, I have nothing to put up here until I receive some contributions.  Therefore, please, don’t be shy.  Projects don’t have to be from class.

 

If you would like to share, contact me in class, in the forums, or via email.  My email address is acf@umail.ucsb.edu

 

The easiest way for me to embed a video is if it is already on youtube.  If you already have something on youtube, let me know.  If not, I’ll deal with it.  It would also be nice if you give me a description of your project, as short or long as you’d like, otherwise you may have to settle for a poor description by me.
