Sometimes, one of the hardest parts of a research paper is to think of a topic! Usually, a person will do their best work when it is a topic that interests them, one that they might even be passionate about. Do not try to be to broad in your selection of a topic, such as doing a paper on game development in general. It can be done, but there's a lot of information out there! Try to narrow down your topic to something that interests you within this field. Don't narrow it down too much (such as a study of the jump button on game controllers), but try to pick a topic somewhere in the middle.
The following databases are comprehensive, multi-disiplinary in scope. They are in order by the probable relavancy and number of articles on the subject of game development and related topics. All of our databases are remotely accessable by inputting the barcode number on the back of your BCC Campus Card when prompted.
