Concept & Development (85 Credits): Introduction to Game Design; Introduction to Game Art; Introduction to Game Animation; Games History; The Games Industry. Creative Project (35 Credits). Level 5 In the second year, students will specialize in their chosen area of game development.

By the end of the Level 5 program, students will have produced a final game prototype that showcases their collaborative efforts and creative talents. The game prototype will represent a polished and playable experience, demonstrating the team’s ability to create an engaging and well-designed game. The prototype will also serve as a portfolio piece for each student, highlighting their individual contributions to the project. Occasional changes to modules and course content may take place. Students will be notified when applicable.
