Games Design and Development 2 - CIT2206

Assessment 1: Focused classwork observations

Formative assessment will be by means of observation of performance in lab sessions.

Focused classwork observations

Assessment 2: Other

Regular demonstration of the vertical slice with appropriate feedback.

Other

Assessment 2: Portfolio

A final single portfolio piece (a vertical slice) assessing all elements of a game, including game/level design, technical achievement, overall aesthetic, asset management and a final presentation.

Portfolio

Assessment 1: Presentation

There will be 3 x 10 min demonstrations. These will assess your understanding of fundamental issues for scripting interaction and game environment development. (5% per presentation).

Presentation

<p>This module builds on prior knowledge gained in previous study of game engines. You will be introduced to principles and good practices when designing and prototyping for game building. It will explore how assets and levels may be designed, created, imported and manipulated in (an) industry standard gaming environment(s). The module will then progress your understanding of scripting using an object-based language and will equip you with the skills to script interactions, actions and animations.</p>
