Games are a major entertainment form of the 21st century. As a design discipline, digital game form combines game worlds, rule sets and play to actively engage a player in an ongoing acquisition of skill. Students will iteratively design, visualize, develop, document and test unique game concepts to a final proof of concept stage. Developing skills from paper prototyping, game modelling and level design through to storyboarding, asset creation, character design and animation, this course provides a solid foundation in game design methodology for use both within and beyond the game industry.
