THE COURSE

Advanced game-development technology + game-related design/usability.

Choose your game development tools. This should be a framwork dedicated to building games and not just say 3D media. Start seraching for tool options her.

Different project can have different amount of focus on tech vs game design. However, all projects must include a complete game experiences. Using a less complex technical engine means you need to spend more time on the game design, and with a clone-based project where you are making a well-known game type, you need to spend more time of progression/variation and in-game teaching.

Design/usability in this course:

  • game mechanichs and game mechnical focus
  • pick-up and play,
  • progression and variation,
  • game-teaching visuals and feedback part of the game experience (Not tutorials or instrucitons).
