- Develop a game narrative with scripted dialog for a given game idea or concept
- Understand and manage the complexities of game interface design
- Define core mechanics and explain their role in creating an entertainment experience
- Map out the level design and game balancing process and show an awareness of problems that need to be avoided in the level design process
- Incorporate visual, behavioural and audible character attributes in order to create a compelling and believable character with an industry recognised modelling tool

- Game standard terrain editor

- Creative writing and dialog design tools

- Industry standard processes for designing user interfaces

Unity - Create with Code
https://learn.unity.com/course/create-with-code

The course will be delivered through onsite sessions at Campus and the core learning will take place in a tutorial fashion.

Although peer-assisted learning is encouraged, students are expected to produce individual deliverable (in other words, no group work).

The course will be using Itslearning as the learning platform and teaching sessions will held in the campus.
Each Tuesday Support is available during the laboratory hours and the student's progress is monitored on weekly base.

The game project is evaluated as follows:
- Industry expert evaluation of the game (H-5);
- Lecturer overall impression of the game (H-5);
- Peer evaluation of the game (H-5).
The average of these will give the final grade for the course.

Missing the concept or prototype presentation will result in the deduction of 1 grade point from the final grade.

Attending more than 75% of the onsite sessions will result in positively to the final grade.

Course lecturers will be present online every week during the allocated timetable slot.
The first 30-60 minutes of each session will be used to:
- Share game industry news
- Highlight some of the latest development trends and technologies
- Open more topics from concurrent Introduction to Game Development Tools
- Introduce and Demonstrate tools that can help develop content for your personal project
- Respond to general student queries

The remaining time of each session will be an opportunity for students to work on their own games and seeking assistance and support from the lecturer.

Lecturers will review student progress with the Unity tutorial work on a weekly basis.

Students can also reserve close-contact support at the Game Lab with an engineer on Tuesday afternoons.

This course does not have any retake possibilities. Failing the course means that students will have to repeat it the following year.

This course leans on CDIO principles and takes a project-based learning approach.

This course requires students to work 135 hours and is divided as follows:
- Contact sessions and presentations: 20 to 30 hours
- Independent tutorial work: 40 to 50 hours
- Developing your own game: 60 to 70 hours
All course work is individual

Students will be required to present their game projects in 3 milestones:
20.09.2022 - Concept project design document presentation of personal project and peer evaluation
01.11.2022 - Prototype presentation of personal project and peer evaluation
13.12.2022 - Final game presentation and peer evaluation

The concept presentations are for monitoring student progress and used as the basis of formative feedback. If you miss this milestone, one grade point will be deducted from the final grade.

The final game presentation is mandatory - failure to present this will cause the student to fail the course.

This course is based on the Online material "Create with Code" presented by Unity. Each week will contain supporting lectures for each week topic and contemporary game technologies and game industry news.
Students will be expected to work through the material according to the following schedule:
- 30.08.2022: Course introduction and Create with Code...Getting Started.
- 06.09.2022: Create with Code...Unit 1
- 13.09.2022: Create with Code...Unit 2
- 20.09.2022: Concept project design document presentation of personal project, peer evaluation
- 27.09.2022: Create with Code...Unit 3
- 04.10.2022: Create with Code...Unit 3
- 11.10.2022: Create with Code...Unit 4
- 18.10.2022: Independent work on your personal project
- 25.10.2022: Create with Code...Unit 4
- 01.11.2022: Prototype presentation of personal project. Peer evaluation. Create with Code...Unit 5
- 08.11.2022: Create with Code...Unit 5
- 15.11.2022: Independent work on your game
- 22.11.2022: Independent work on your game
- 29.11.2022: Finalize your game
- 06.12.2022: Independence Day. Finalize your game during the week.
- 13.12.2022: Final game presentations

Failure to produce and present the final game will cause the student to fail the course.

Participating in less than 50% of the onsite sessions will cause the student to fail the course.
