This isn't exactly art per se, unless you use a different definition.
So, as you all know, I went back to school for a degree in computer science. I then switched schools and this new school has a game design degree. I have been taking some of these classes, not for the degree, but for a certificate. One of the classes I am currently in is called Traditional Games. This means that for the whole semester I have been creating a board game. I know we have all had ideas for games, but this class has actually forced me to make one to completion (prototyping, balancing, and everything). For the past 8 weeks I have been playtesting a game over and over. In this time I have neared its completion to the point where if I can have a good meeting with this teacher who has some connections, I have the possibility of actually getting a game published. My classmates were saying that they wanted to buy a copy of my game as is, and couldn't give me any feedback to improve it. I am riding high right now.
