Game Development 101

£719.00

The courses in our Game Development 101 will take you through 3 key sectors of games development namely: Character Design, Animation and Programming. For this phase you will be building a simple 2D games prototype for a hack and slash side scroller. This course really helps you to build the foundation needed to make your own computer game.

As seasoned creatives we knew what we wanted in our course: Lessons which can be experienced in smaller bites – prioritising vital information. To be taught in a fun and engaging way – it’s a game we are creating here not a spreadsheet. A course that gives you complete control of your learning experience.

Stage 3:

The third stage of our gaming course will allow you to utilise any work made in the earlier animation and character design stages. You will be placing these into the free Unity games engine to make a prototype hack and slash computer game with some basic functionality.
