Amcanion cyffredinol
You will have the opportunity to apply game design skills developed in the first year to real-world 2D or 2D+ game projects. A set of professional briefs require you to design a complete game level. You will need to use a range of tools to develop visuals, gameplay and mechanics to meet the requirements of the brief in a creative fashion. You will begin using more advanced game design tools and techniques, including more advanced scripting and complex sprite sheets, as you create fully playable game levels. You will have the opportunity to make use of common game project tools, including agile and scrum methodologies. At the end of the module, you will have developed a portfolio of work that presents your work in a professional manner.
Cynnwys cwrs
Students develop a professional portfolio that includes the design, development and production of two video game levels to meet a professional brief. Weekly seminars introduce students to level design principles and methods, as well as methods of game development project planning such as agile and scrum. Students complete much of the design work off-line in the seminars, but weekly workshops will allow students opportunities to apply design ideas using industry-standard software.
