Now, Osaka Electro-Communication University has decided to implement hands-on practical education in partnership with Capcom for students in the Department of Digital Games and Department of Games and Media within the Faculty of Information Science and Arts, as well as the Digital Games Course in the Graduate School of Information Science and Arts!
This initiative offers students a valuable opportunity to acquire advanced practical skills and development workflows while receiving direct advice from industry-leading professional creators.
