Description

How do game developers turn a simple idea into an immersive world?

Step into the gaming industry and explore the tools, skills, and creativity behind interactive game development, where students take on the roles of game developers as they transform a base template into a customised 2D platformer or first-person experience using Unreal Engine. Along the way, they explore key aspects of professional game development including level design, environment and props creation, character development, and storytelling.

Students are introduced to real-world examples from professional game designers, analysing gameplay elements and drawing inspiration to fuel their own projects. Through guided exploration and hands-on practice, they build, test, and refine their game levels using industry-standard tools. They’ll work collaboratively to debug code, apply design principles, and bring their game ideas to life. This program builds critical skills in creativity, logic, and digital design, offering students an exciting glimpse into the world of game development and potential career pathways in the gaming industry.
