### THE COURSE
Advanced game-development technology + game-related design/usability.
Choose your tools - focused on game development. A medial library + physics framework is OK but students often regrett that choice. Start seraching for [tool options her](tasks/loe.en.shtml).
Different project can have different amount of focus on tech. vs game design. However, all projects must be a complete game experiences. Using a less complex engine requires more attention to design/usability.
Design/usability is in this course - game mechanichs, game mechnical focus and balance, pick-up and play, progression and variation, and game-teaching visuals and feedback. Read more in the [grading criteria](exam/index.en.shtml)
Your will be required to:
1. hand in game plan (for feedback)
2. present live status update at a 2-hours mid-course screencast seminar
1. hand in playable game
1. hand in URL to final presentations
1. one joint game teaser screen-cast (also for LiUGA 2021)
1. one joint game playthrough screencast
1. one oral and face-showing oral screencast where you expain how the game was developed, in terms of code/implementation and design aspects. (Show how you meet the learning criteria of the course).
When presenting, it is your responsibility to make sure you can present at IDA (be that on your own machine).
The prestigious [LiU GAME AWARD](https://liugc.se/) (LiUGA) 2023 will be as part of Link�ping Game Week in week 47 in 2023. When submitting your project for the course, this will also enable you to choose to submit to LiUGA, so no need for multiple hand-ins.
